100 is a bit much, a good ebike can cost several thousands. IMHO the main driver for adoption is the availability of dedicated infrastructure. I can afford an EV but chose to use a bike because the infrastructure is excellent where I live and it allows me to avoid traffic and congestion.
My old shitty car cost 2,5 times as much as my really nice ebike.
Both bought used.
I used to pay around 200€ a month for fuel and there is also insurance.
My ebike right now costs me about a handful of euros in fuel each month and I don’t have to take extra time for exercise out of my day. So a hundred times more efficient isn’t even that high.
Maybe its a bit much but as i said in the other reply, you need:
a parking space
insurance
maintainance
eventually very costly battery replacement
All of these are either not necessaey or muuuch cheaper for bikes. These are also recurring costs that together could pay for a whole new e bike every few months.

Why wouldn’t an ebike be riding in traffic?
Why would it be? Do you think they mean electric motorcycle? They’re referring to electric bicycles
