    (do hybrid ebikes exist?)

    When you ride an E-Bike you can always set the support to 0% and pedal yourself. Or I don’t get the question.

      I mean pedaling would recharge the battery. So you could go for a longer ride (say cross country) and alternate between charging and depleting the battery, just like in a hybrid car.

        • Ebikes are great for climbing, and I’d be willing to recharge a bit on the flats or downhill if it was reasonably productive. I just don’t know how productive they could be.

      Not sure if any exist. Recharging by pedal would require adding resistance to the pedaling. The added resistance is fine in a car because they’re so heavy and fast that it’s barely noticeable downhill. But it’d be very noticeable to someone on a bike.
