Electric-assist bikes have pedals. You can get as much exercise as you
like on one. There are circumstances when riding a regular bike to
work might oblige you to get _more_ exercise that you really wanted to
get at that time.
An electric bike certainly seems like a better idea for a 4 mile
commute than a car, if that is the second choice.
However, I expect that a cheap electric bicycle bought from an auto
supply would be of the same quality as a cheap regular bicycle from the
same place: atrocious.
