eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

Been thinking a lot lately about the eMTB vs. traditional mountain bike debate, especially after a gnarly 20-mile ride with some serious climbs last weekend. I was on my full-suspension eMTB, and while I definitely felt the workout, I couldn't help but wonder how much more "fun" or "challenging" it would have been on my old analog trail bike.

For those of you who ride both, or have made the switch, what's your take on the overall experience? Do you find yourself pushing harder or exploring more on your eMTB, or do you miss the raw, unassisted grind of a traditional bike on technical singletrack? Curious to hear your thoughts!
