E-bike activity

I love how Garmin Connect automatically syncs my rides to Strava, however I'd love it even more if Garmin Fenix 5 had an E-bike activity, so I wouldn't have to change all my rides to "e-bike ride" in Strava manually.

To me (Living in the EU) an ebike is a bike that has pedal assist up to 25 kph then it's a normal bike (albeit a 30 kg heavy bike). Don't know what a "full-on ebike" would be but no I'm not talking electric…

You're missing the point... in Strava it gets posted as a conventional bike and your speed/time on segment is used for the segment leaderboards... versus people on bio-bikes... makes you look like a cheat.

It is an activity, and there is some exertion but not as much as a non assisted sport. For what ever reason people ebike (or escooter) they have their reasons and should be able to track it if they want
