Exercise Bike in Fitness Equipment Activity Type

Same to me, after so long time, there is still no update from Garmin for exercise bike option

I am currently using indoor cycling under cycling, but it is not exactly the same thing.

Just curious - what is the difference between an indoor bike and an exercise bike? I always thought it was the same. And which of the stats you need are missing in the Indoor Cycling activity? Or what is the reason you need it as a separate activity? You could also use for example "Cardio", if you do not want the activities logged in the Cycling category.

I was also curious. According to Difference Between A Regular Bike And An Electric Bike

An e-bike is a regular bike with an electric motor that assists the rider’s pedaling power. It gives you the advantage of  witching to pedal assists should it get a little difficult when you’re riding. An e-bike gives your body some time to rest while you’re still in motion.

An exercise bike is a stationary bike that is used for indoor exercise. It is designed to simulate cycling outdoors without having to leave your home.

I did not see e-bike mentioned in the OP. An e-bike is an electric bike, not an exercise bike. Exercise bike, as far as I know, is an indoor bike.

This is true. Not sure why I thought e-bike. Now looking at this, my idea of an indoor bike would be a road bike mounted on a trainer. An exercise bike is only stationary. And as you mentioned, there is indoor cycling.

Could be, but I see no reason why it would need to be logged as something else than the already existing Indoor Cycling activity

Only 4322681 could help answer. 

Up until a year ago I had a road bike mounted on a trainer where the rear wheel was removed to fit to the trainer. I also had a stationary excerise bike. Both setups had a Garmin Speed sensor and a Cadence sensor mounted on them. I never felt the need to get anything to measure the pedal power. I used the Garmin's Indoor Cycling app on my Vivoactive 4 to record the activities. No difference. In fact, if you calibrate the speed sensor correctly you can come pretty close to real world. I now only use the excerise bike to record Tacx rides and have sold the trainer setup.
