You can buy a shitty car for the price of a decent e-bike.

The e-bike has maintenance costs close to 0.

Cars need insurance and fuel at the very minimum.

Not perfectly true. You have to renew brake pads, tires, chain and cassette at regular intervals if you ride a lot. They cost way way less than car maintenance though.
