Let’s get this out of the way first: an e-bike is not a replacement for your road bike. You’re not doing your long rides or interval sessions on one. But for triathletes who commute, run errands, or want to add easy cycling volume without trashing their legs, an e-bike is a genuinely smart training tool…
