I disagree. I use my e-bike to go faster than I can get my regular bike, particularly up hill. As such I’m getting as much exercise either way, since I’m doing the same work.

Nah. You might be working just as hard if you’re going as fast as possible, but in that case, you’re not working as long.
If you did that same hill as fast as you could on a normal bike, it would take you longer and you’d be getting that high-intensity workout for longer.
I would ride my regular bike 10km with a maximum of 20km. I’ll ride my e-bike 50km without even thinking about it.
Most of the time I don’t even use the motor. The knowledge that I can always get home even if I get too tired is enough to enable some of the longer trips.
Is it as cardio intensive as usual bike? No.
Is it as cardio intensive as sitting on a coach/in a car/on a bus? Also no.
But these are different no.

Take any pulse meter and measure your cycling energy expenditure over an hour using a regular bike and e-bike. Come back with results.
That is unrealistic as I don’t ride for an hour. I ride for a trip and my ebike enables trips I wouldn’t do on the regular bike.
