> Except of course it might rain. You're not made of sugar and neither is the bike. Rain gear exists just like it does for walking. > Or it might be too sunny/hot. On an eBike it's usually more comfortable than walking due to the breeze. > Or you might need to carry kids. Cargo bikes, trailers and kids seats. Carrying kids on bikes is easy. Certainly better for them to be outside in fresh air with a good view. The older kids ride themselves of course. > Or carry shopping/parcels. Cargo bikes, trailers, baskets, panniers, backpacks, etc. You honestly cannot argue that bikes can't carry things. > Or you might need to go faster than an ebike can legally go (12mph). At least in Europe they're limited to 25km/h, or 16mph. With traffic lights, stop signs and congestion you may very well be going slower than that on average in a car. There are of course reasons people can't/don't use a bike for something: Poor infrastructure, lacking safety enforcement (from cars & thieves), anti-convenience laws like helmet mandates, super long distances, super heavy/large cargo, impassable terrain, good public transit, horrendous weather, etc. You might note that pretty much all of those apply to cars as well.
