Interesting, I never knew that was an argument for ebikes, but as you say, if they never break even it’s a moot point. Unless… Perhaps having the ebikes promoted more cycling over driving, then perhaps it changes it enough.
Totally agree that getting more people to choose cycling over driving should be the focus. The differences in environmental effects between ebikes and regular bikes are small, and the difference between both of them and cars is very large.
