I rode a top of the line e-mountain bike recently. Still a workout even though it was doing 80% of the lifting. Mostly a workout because I'm so out of shape. Still, something's better than nothing.
I've been so lazy since getting a mini Segway, and even moreso getting that EUC from Iamian. I ride that thing every day, sometimes only to the mailbox.
I don't think E-bikes will be a net-detriment to health so long as people don't use the no-pedal modes. If you have to pedal, there's always incentive to put in effort.
