I bike to work almost every day on a conventional bike. I wish more people would bike, but I don't think the high price of e-bikes is really a factor. For commuting on bike to work you need a really good network of bike trails since people don't feel safe on roads. Often trails don't go where you need to go. And even on an e-bike the trip takes longer than a car ride. And a bike greatly limits your flexibility to do things like go out for lunch, or run errands after work, or pick up groceries. The inconvenience of it is hard to overcome.
