Of course, riders who use a throttle-enabled electric bike won’t reap the same level of benefits as pedal assist e-bikes that still require pedaling, though the outdoor benefits are still measurable even when using a throttle.

Ahhh yes...they get more exercise but don't have any of the same benefits of you actually do the work yourself. Thanks useless article for pointing out why ebikes give more exercise but then claim it's actually worse...but not really..but really..
