> An ebike isn't a serious replacement for cars used by families in most of the world.

"Most of the world" is a big place.

Are there more cars or mopeds in the world? I assume that the typical family in Asia has either a scooter or no vehicle, so an ebike would be an improvement for them. Probably the same for Africa and a lot of South America.

I mention this to demonstrate that most of the world doesn't have cars, and they get along ok. Such a thing is not impossible.

It's understandable that you're having a hard time imagining it because you live in a car-centric society, but "most of the world" is objectively wrong here.

There are roughly 1.4bn cars in the world for 7.8bn people... so most people get around without one.

You can see it if you travel a bit, in India and China you'll see families getting around on bikes and scooters. Over 1/3 of the Dutch use a bike as their primary means of transportation. People often cite weather as a reason not to, but if the Finnish can regularly use bikes to get around (another European country with high bike use)... nearly anyone can.
