    If “more exercise” means spending more time doing any exercise, yes. The article doesn’t go any further than that.

    Do ebikers burn more calories? Do they get better VO2Max? What’s the impact on their general fitness? Do they get stronger?

    These are relevant metrics. How much time is spent sitting on a bike seat is not very much.

      If you need that level of detail to understand the findings that the article discusses, I’d suggest you read the studies. In spite of some questionable writing, the author does link to them.
