I don't think it helps anybody to antagonize people who want to use ebikes.

They still have some exercise, albeit obviously reduced compared to a "real" bike. They don't pollute their environment with exhaust gases and noise. They don't use as much public space as they would with a car or even a motorbike

Anecdotally a collegue of mine got a ebike last year an has since ridden 2k km and even driven it 15km to work some times. She has not used her normal bike that much in the last 10 years combined.
