eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

Been thinking a lot lately about the eBike vs. traditional bike debate, especially after a recent ride. I took my eMTB out on some local singletrack, and while I absolutely love the assist for climbing those steep sections, it got me wondering about the pure fitness aspect compared to when I used to hammer the same trails on my old analog hardtail.

For those of you who own both, or have made the switch, what are your thoughts? Do you find yourself getting a different kind of workout, or are you just covering more ground faster? I'm curious about how your riding habits and fitness have evolved.
