Compared to pedalling under your own steam..................

I expect this topic has been well about the houses on here. But, hey ho, am new to ebiking, so here goes...

If riding regularly, say a daily work commute of 20km, as such, can you and do you maintain good fitness, get good heart BPM rates up, et al? Or is it, an ebike ride really is a ride in the park, as one would say?

All down to how hard you ride. Put in the same amount of effort and you will get the same training effect. It's just that you will get there quicker!

you need to spin the cranks @120rpm for that speed

Overtime your fitness will improve but without the sweaty, headsdown, neckstraining, I'm not slowing down even for red lights, scowly faced misery of the unassisted rider.
Life on an e-bike is actually enjoyable

Riding an electric bicycle is just as healthy as pedalling a normal bike, researchers say

I used to have to push my pedal bike up the hills near me. I let my ebike take the strain and put on weight.

I find I go out more on the bike since I did the conversion ...And don't use the truck to go for a shopping trip into the village ,..also I will go places via a different route not aways the shortest ...

You can ride it like you stole it or take things easy, all up to you. I lost about 4 kg the first few weeks.
