You may burn fewer calories per mile, but ebikers tend to get more exercise overall.

    I rode the same five-mile route, with a 40ft elevation gain

    I tracked the same ride with Strava with no heart-rate monitor

    in order to compare the calorie burn rate using the data provided by my Apple Watch. This is strictly based on heart rate, without specifying an activity, so that the fitness tracker wouldn’t make any assumptions about anything.

    The methodology used is just awful.
