So, are you saying that there is still a decent amount of exercise at the lower and medium assist levels?

I am trying to balance, on the way into work, getting some exercise but not sweating much. On the way home, I will go for more exercise.

And, my bike will be a Stromer ST2.

Seems like it...

But sticking with my example from before, I would get 55% less exercise riding the 80Km assisted then I would have if I rode the 80 Km without any assist... So, you want to make sure you get exercise? You are going to have to pedal more and use less assist. It's just the way it is... I would feel like I rode 36 Km without assist, if I did what the example shows riding the 80 Km.
