It's marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you're an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

as well as the low(er) speeds bicycles in general are just really good at weight vs. transportable weight. I mean you can fit like 5 people and luggage in a car, for example, say what, 800kg of load? Even if you do this in a like a Gen 1 Twingo, miserable as that might be, you'd be looking at about 1:1 car weight vs. transported weight.

a 30kg E-bike has little problem transporting a 100kg perso, so more like 3:1 on that front.
