The effect of E-cycling compared to conventional cycling.

Outcome	Subjects, E-bike/bike	SMD	95%CI	p
VO2-peak/max	17/15	0.19	−0.54 to 0.91	0.611
Max power	17/15	0.00	−0.72 to 0.72	1.00
Mental health	38/36	0.27	−0.19 to 0.73	0.244
BMI	17/15	−0.08	−0.80 to 0.65	0.838
DBP	17/15	0.34	−0.39 to 1.07	0.356
SBP	17/15	0.20	−0.52 to 0.93	0.581

All outcomes are assessed in one study (13) only. A positive SMD would indicate positive change in favor of E-bike.

VO₂peak/max, maximal oxygen consumption; Max power, maximal power output during an incremental endurance trial; BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SMD, standardized mean difference.
