No, you are probably (?) correct, but I think you might be missing the point (and I mean this with utmost respect !)... it may be a hobby or interest, rather than purchased as a piece of health/exercise exercise equipment... right ? I have a friend here with a neurological condition that has made riding a bike out of the question, but she purchased an electric bike and is thrilled to be able to get out, "ride", see the passing sights. So, maybe they are not necessarily specifically for exercise ?
