According to him, you burn more calories when you cycle in eco mode than when you cycle with full support.
He does think it is an absolute must for people who are still in doubt whether or not they want to go to work by bike. “Cycling with an electric bicycle is always better than taking the bus or car to work:you move and you are outside. That is much healthier for you and the environment.”
