Comment About same physical activity (Score 3, Interesting) 176
There was a study done in the EU a few years back that compared how much physical activity people got with E-bikes compared to regular bikes.
The study found that people use E-bikes more than regular bikes, and for longer trips. So the gains are about the same for both. But higher of course if the E-bike replaces a car.
