    The term ebike generally refers to a bike with pedal assist, not an electric motorcycle. Pedal assist means you are still exercising and you can set the level of assist you want.

      Many–most of the ones that I see in Atlanta–do not require any pedaling at all. They’re functionally speed-controlled electric motorcycles that people ride on sidewalks.

      So no, most people aren’t exercising, any more than they’re exercising on electric scooters.

        Again, you’re talking about something different. I’m talking about electric pedal assist bicycles (often called an ebike), not electric mopeds.
