Court House - As an avid, 73-year-old, electric bike rider, I feel qualified to reply to the person who asked how riding an e-bike is exercise. When using pedal assist, which I do, there is still great exercise in biking. Those who sit idly and simply use a throttle, as many young riders do, might well be in a rocking chair. Those who love biking, but have hip, knee or other physical problems, find e-bikes a blessing in our golden year's. Exercise on an e-bike beats no exercise. I also am a safety nut, helmet, gloves and lights.
