Cyclist here. It's a different type of vehicle than a leg-powered bike and therefore not cheating at all... unless you're recording your rides on Strava, then it is.

More bikes is a very good thing, whether human or human/electric powered.

Motorcyclist here. I agree. If it's got two wheels and it makes you smile, it's a good thing. :)

> unless you're recording your rides on Strava,

Strava has a E-Bike ride classification, so it would be no different to recording your normal bike ride as a run.

I had a electric bike and regularly recorded by rides on Strava. Comparing it to others doesn't make much sense, but comparing it to yourself and watching your fitness improve is as satisfying as ever.
