I could see that happening for me. As aggressively as I'm riding the e-bike, and the fact that it doesn't have a throttle so if I don't pedal I don't go, I'm definitely getting a decent amount of exercise out of it. But I won't knock anyone, including myself, for enjoying ebikes. They are certainly better than using cars to get everywhere. And more fun than cars. Micah on the Wheel-E podcast calls real bikes "acoustic bikes" in a quirky nod to the difference between electric and acoustic guitars. It's silly but I kind of like that while it makes clear the difference it doesn't stigmatize e-bike riders as being somehow "less than".
