You're missing out on the benefits of hill climbing... Climbing hills is what makes a cyclists stronger and fitter... climbing hills is where the real fun is...Sure you can easily maintain 20mph on an e-bike but you're not doing it by your own power, and that's cheating. If somebody is only interested in cutting their time, then by all means ride an e-bike but if you're riding for fun and exercise then pedal power is the way to go.
