What better ways? Weight lifting is hardly cardio, running assumes one
can run, (some of my friends can't anymore) or power walking??

Somebody split the thread. Back to electric bikes. If an electric assist
is what is needed to get somebody out of the house, then it is a good
thing. Some people have very little self confidence and need a helper to
take that first step. Once they realize that they can pedal a little
with out electric assist, then maybe they can graduate to a regular
bike. Some of my friends are in that category, macho with a car, yet
fearing embarrassment on a bike.
Hence the electrics have a place.
