Just because you own an electric bike doesn't mean you are using the 'assist' all the time. I normally am pedaling as a regular bike, and estimate I only use an 'assist' level less than 5% of the time. At my age I consider it a 'safety' option, in that, if on one of my long rides I encounter any problem the 'assist' is there to get me back home. It's great low-impact exercise.
