Most of the tourist activity in Kyoto is concentrated in the eastern area from Gion to Fushimi. The area around Higashiyama and Mount Fushimi is particularly charming and historically rich, and with an e-bike you can avoid the crowds and explore the real Kyoto.

This trail is about 25km long, but is very informative so will take a full day, or you could halve it if you want to explore the area in more depth and at a more leisurely pace.
The first is the Kamo River. The Kamo River runs north to south through the eastern part of Kyoto and has been the scene of many historical events for 1000 years.
At the same time, it is a wonderful cycling route, allowing you to ride peacefully away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There is a bicycle parking lot at Fushimi Inari, so you can park your bike there and go sightseeing. It gets very crowded, so if you don't like crowds, you can just skip it.
A little south of Fushimi Inari, you will find a beautiful, deserted bamboo forest. This area has been maintained by locals for hundreds of years and is an important bamboo production area, both today and in the past.
Depending on your cycling level, you may also stop in Gion before finishing at the hotel.
