E-bikes still have a massive carbon footprint compared to regular bicycles, and the battery efficiency is very adversely effected by high heat (deserts) and low heat (snow) .

Either way, a car, even if its an EV, will be the better pick for every situation I stated above.

Ebikes actually have a lower carbon footprint compared to regular bikes, because they go more kilometers in their lifespan.
