Yes; again, the motor will assist you in this so that you can reach your destination in a quicker time. Though, most electric bikes’ motors will only help you up to a certain speed – as mentioned in ‘Are Electric Bikes Legal?’, no faster than 15.5 mph in the UK – so if you want to go even faster than that, you’ll have to rely on pedal power.

As fast as you are capable of peddling, essentially. As mentioned in the previous answer, in the UK, motors will only assist you up to a maximum speed of 15.5 mph, and you would struggle to find an electric bike elsewhere that will you any higher than 20 mph at a push. But from then on, it depends entirely on how quickly you can or want to go.

Generally, not really. Certainly, you’ll rarely hear the sound of an e-bike over the noise of the road and traffic, although some motors can tend to make a sort of ‘whining’ noise at times. Not to the point where it becomes utterly intolerable, though.

Definitely not. Just because electric bikes have motors doesn’t mean they require no effort on your part; just less of it. E-bikes can also work as normal bicycles without any pedal assistance if you wish, too.

Yes because, as mentioned in the previous answer, you still need to pedal, and so are a genuine form of exercise.

Potentially further than you could feasibly manage on a regular bike. This is because, while not as much effort is needed to ride an e-bike, many tend to cycle greater distances on them given they have preserved more energy, and so make more use of them. Of course, though, you are limited by the battery life of your electric bike. These are designed to be fully charged overnight so that they can be used every day, and can also be remotely charged virtually anywhere where there is a plug socket or computer.

Contrary to belief, they are eco-friendly. They don’t release any unhealthy gases and their batteries can be recycled, so in some ways, they actually benefit the environment. Certainly, using an electric bike instead of driving is a greener option, anyway, considering the carbon emissions a car releases.
