If it doesn't ever get hot or cold where you live, or ever really rain, then yes. If an ebike works 90% of the time, then I'm getting the car. Might still get the bike, but I also have to have the car, and that will take just as much battery material as if I drive it 100% of the time.

I live in Umeå, Sweden.

It was -15ºC today. Most people I saw outside were on bicycles.

Out of curiosity, do ebikes work at all this time of year, or do the batteries freeze? (like they do in inferior EVs)
