There are a range of numbers that depend on how you get your power and how you get your food. The high end of CO2 per km traveled for ebikes is the same as the low end for regular bikes.
This doesn’t account for all the other terrible stuff coal puts out, of course.
Now, again, the numbers are close enough that it’s barely worth quibbling about, but it is a difference.
Yup, it’s better. You’re underestimating how inefficient biological processes are and how carbon intensive food production is.
