Can someone clarify something for me: why record an e-bike ride on Strava at all? Aren't there other apps for just keeping track of mileage and such, that don't bother with rankings, "personal best" times and other such athletic-oriented data? Is it because Strava is just the go-to data collection platform? For instance, VeloViewer relies on it, and it has all kinds of interesting ways of looking at routes, and metrics that are about exploration, not performance.
Maybe the folks who are interested in the performance data will learn eventually and clean up their act when it comes to e-bike rides. Easier said than done, I suppose - I know I don't always remember to tag my Citibike rides as commutes (or even Citibike rather than my default road bike), which actually makes my data look worse....
