    Well you can actually build about 130 or so ebike batteries for every average car battery so if batteries are your concern ebikes are much better in that regard. In general bikes are way more efficient than cars and honestly at should try to limit the usage of all cars, electric or not,as much as possible and ebikes are a great alternative in a lot of cases.

    I have no problems with unassisted bikes think of course!

        I was trying to say lithium batteries. So for the amount of materials is takes to make one lithium car battery you could make around 130 ebike batteries since they’re so much smaller.

        But yeah I agree with you that we need better programs to actually recycle the batteries.
