Hmm...
That 20J/m is when I use the motor to assist me up hills and to gain
speed to avoid cars and such. The rest of the time I am pedaling at what
appears to be 130 J/m. I am 75 kg and 1.8 m tall so that 130J/m is
pretty close for me.
How is the energy use calculated for regular bicycling? Just curious.

Thanks. You are correct. I thought my number was too low. 20 J/m it is.

Dear Linus and John,
Given Linus' figure for energy use when you are riding an electric
bicycle, I have revisited my summary and added a few human scale (for
a 70 kg person) values for comparison.
Summary
Electric bicycle 20 J/m
Bicycling 130 J/m
Walking 200 J/m
Walking (briskly) 220 J/m
Jogging 300 J/m
Swimming 300 J/m
Car 3 200 J/m
School bus 13 510 J/m
Truck 15 440 J/m
Boeing 747 54 400 J/m
Cheers,
