I can see the logic here. I can ride my pedal bike to work (6.5 miles nearly all uphill) but I probably would ride every day if it was on an e-bike that helped with the steeper uphill bits.

Its also a good psychological crutch "I dont feel like riding today... You know what, Ill ride but Ill take it easy and let the motor do more work" and once you're out there you fall into your rhythm and just get on with it.
Whenever its a running day at the gym (and I fucking hate running) I always tell myself "Go. But if you start running and you're just taking the piss and making terrible time you can go do double distance on an exercise bike" Once I get my arse moving, I almost always do the run.
Fresh air is not exercise. Sitting on a bike versus pedaling are two very different things
Many electric bikes, like the Specialized pictured in the post, are pedal assist with no throttle. They simply make you go faster and have a range of adjustable settings for acceleration response, power, etc. You can get great exercise on them for sure, especially if a rider would otherwise be adverse to getting on a bike.
the argument, is that you need to do some pedaling, and you do more than with a pedal bike
