Here is a simple test. Take a look at the facial expression of a mamil...they rarely lokk like they are having fun! Now take a look at the facial expression of a mtb rider on a climb....smiling? Now look at the same rider on a flowing or techy fast flat trail or descent...having fun...you bet ! Seriously my point here was that for most of us mere mortals the amount of fun we can get from a ride is limited by the strength and fitness of primarilly our quad muscles and our lung capacity. E-mtb greatly lessens dependance on the level of fitness and strength in those 2 areas because the greatest strain is placed on them mostly by energy sapping climbs. Age injury and lifestyle ( e.g. sedentary working week) all take their toll on those.
