Bicycle Touring is not an elitist (nor jock!) activity but does take mental-toughness as much as physical. The HTFU attitude I'm referencing is the mental aspect. Sorry that you don't agree and prefer to rationalize that your motor-assisted vehicle is the same thing as a 100%-human-powered-vehicle.
Enjoy your commuting 
Enjoy your eBike
You probably did not notice this; but, I did not start this thread.
I mention commuting on an e-bike in order to point out that I do have, significant, experience riding an e-bike. I also mentioned cycling to points of interest. I categorize that under touring activity. Not all touring is some elite, he-man, super-jock, activity.

I do not remember saying that. Can you please show me where I said that?
I can show where you said:
*Just as a comment, many US states clearly state, in the law, that e-bikes, that meet the legal definition of an e-bike, are not motor-assisted vehicles. However, the OP, who was not me, made it clear that this was in Spain. I do not know how Spain defines e-bikes; but I doubt you do either. However, as you have noted, quibbling about legal definitions takes us far from touring.
