Thought Experiment: How Good Could e-Bikes Get?
@chrisclifford: Further and longer is relative to effort, as is the distance you can ride. If you are focused solely on distance, however, I definitely don't recommend an e-bike. Road bikes and skin suits are more your speed.

@jayacheess: If you have a lazy mindset the e-bike will exploit that. But that's not a knock on the e-bike, that's a knock on the rider! Same applies to the analog bike. If you are a lazy rider it doesn't matter what bike you are on.

Thought Experiment: How Good Could e-Bikes Get?
@chrisclifford: Put a runner, an analog bike rider and an e-bike rider on the same trail and have them go *max* effort until they can't anymore. In terms of most distance covered, what order do you think they finish ;)
Your range is relative to your effort no matter what the exercise vessel is.
And if you don't believe an e-bike is a good fitness tool I have a challenge for you. Take an e-bike to your local lunch loop (10-15 miles) and go max effort on it to see how fast you can finish it. Guarantee you leave that ride with a refreshed outlook on e-bikes.

Environmental concerns, sure. But saying E-bikes will make society less fit is incredibly ignorant. This is along the same lines of a trail runner saying an analog bike rider riding the same trail will be less fit because they have the mechanical advantage of a bicycle. Obviously this is false. The bike allows for riding further and longer than a running in the same way an e-bike allows for riding further and longer than the analog bike. Not too mention having to manager a 50lbs bike on that further and longer ride. E-bikes are an incredible tool to build fitness, as are a pair of running shoes, or a dirtbike. It's all about how you use that tool.

Anyone that has actually spent a good amount of time on the e-bike knows the weight is not an issue. It disappears after a few rides and, in fact, helps the bike handle better with the weight being so low and centralized. I prefer the handling characteristics of my 58lbs full-fat E-bike over my 34lbs Enduro bike or my 25lbs XC bike ALL DAY LONG.
Spend that R&D money:
- Range
- Integrated gearbox
- E-bike focused suspension design and suspension components

The Final Randoms - Sea Otter 2023
More power. More Range.
Super-lite e-bikes aren't worth it IMO. The "extra" weight disappears after a few rides.
