You don’t need an e-bike to put your HR in the 120-135 bpm range - just peddle more.
Agreed with this, have a friend who works with people after heart attacks and ebikes are the worst according to her, people think they are working hard but it’s too easy to let the bike do the work. The throttle bikes are exponentially worse than the pedal assist.
