We have both e bikes and traditional bikes. The e bikes don’t have a throttle and are pedal assist only. The assist from the motor can be set anywhere from zero to turbo at 5% increments. No doubt the traditional bikes give the rider a better workout, but as we age eventually it will become increasingly difficult for us to ride a traditional bike. The e bikes will keep us riding much longer in life and can still give the rider a good workout. Obviously, a lesser workout is still way better than no workout at all. Even though we are still very capable of riding our traditional bikes on the flatlands of Florida, our e bikes are becoming increasingly necessary for us to ride in the very hilly terrain around our northern home. Ride On : )
