There are different kinds of ebikes but many don't eliminate your effort, they just multiple it. They can be particularly helpful when going uphill to make it feel a bit more like you're peddling up flat ground. The fact that they're overall quieter and lighter weight means you can access bicycle lanes and multi-use pathways. Operating costs are also drastically lower than motorcycles.
