If you stop pedaling, it stops assisting you. This is the way to go if you want to get fit and burn calories. Some ebikes have only this option; some have this option plus the option to use a throttle and not pedal; and some have only a throttle option. Obviously, you will get little to no exercise with the third option.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32517\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32517\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Wp7i5t\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"32517\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/?attachment_id=32517\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Joe-riding-Devinci-Copenhagen-with-BionX-750-X-4201.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,420\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Joe-riding-Devinci-Copenhagen-with-BionX-750-X-4201\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;This was when I started riding an ebike to work.
