That is exactly where an E-Assist bike shines (PAS)...
It enables one to ride more, and even get more exercise because of it. As long as one uses restraint as to how much assistance one actually chooses to use.
Again, if one uses an E-Bike with throttle only, that choice is practically non-existent with a throttle only bike one tends to not pedal as much... JMO
