Are there e-bike rentals in Galapagos?

I was there in 2021 last time for a land-based trip and there were none. Curious if e-bikes are a thing now?

I remember regular bike rentals being available on the main islands, but e-bikes would be so much better for getting around, especially with some of the hills and longer distances between towns. It would make exploring on your own way more practical without relying on taxis or tour buses all the time.

Is it still just regular bikes and scooters?

Also curious if the infrastructure has improved for this kind of thing. Are the roads better now, or is it still rough enough that e-bikes wouldn't really make sense there anyway?

Would be great to know if this is an option now for my next trip. Being able to e-bike around the islands independently sounds like it would add a lot of flexibility.
