Love my Rad Rover ebike. Has 4” tires and shocks. I replaced the stock parts and now the torque is incredible, especially off road. A friend and I ride the single tracks on any of a number of mountain bike trails within 40 minutes of TV. I never stop pedaling.
I have read studies that suggest the workout on a ebike is about 75% of a non ebike. Main reason is ebike riders typically ride further.
Obviously, you can just twist the throttle and ride it like a motorcycle. You get as much or as little exercise as you desire.
Disclaimer: I rode the single tracks over rocks and roots long before ebikes were available. We even rode at night with helmet and bike lights. My mind still says go for it but body says I’ll regret it.
