The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.
E-bikes support fewer car trips.

Cheating who, exactly?
They get more people riding further and more often FOR TRANSPORTATION. https://the2wheeledwolf.blogspot.com/2018/01/why-do-so-many-people-keep-saying.html
Health benefits of cycling are going down, and bikelanes are becoming more unsafe.
This used to be normal teenager training for life as a cyclist. Not anymore..
I also ride my road bike for fitness all summer.
E-bikes basically double your speed and flatten the hills which has the effect of doubling my commuting range.
It doesn't help that a lot of e-bikes in this area are on sidewalks, no helmets, "horsing around," etc.
Imagine if...
Plenty of examples of car replacement and noting how that made cycling to the shops lazier than walking there didn't shift him 🙄
With ebike cycling = 7000 miles in 3 years = 6.4 miles daily.
Short car drives in those 3 years = almost zero
