Most ebikes just assist you. You still have to pedal. Like others have said, you'll burn less calories but they allow you go further. For someone with a longer commute, it will help get them to work more quickly, less sweaty but still get some exercise in.
On something like a cargo bike or pulling the kids they would be great.
They're also fun.
I'll be getting one when I slow down on my regular bike. Hopefully by then the road bike ones have come down in price.
