A common misconception is that e-bikes do not require any physical exertion to use.
In the EU it's generally only legal to use a pedelec, which offers assistance when pedalling, but does not have a throttle that allows you to move without pedalling.
The motor is limited to providing assistance when travelling up to 25KM/h (15.5MPH).
So an e-bike in most parts of the world makes pedalling easier, but still requires physical exertion.
I can assure you that going up a steep hill with an e-bike is still pretty tiring!
In my experience, the e-bike makes it feasible to travel further before getting tired.
