It's not.
It gets you from point A to B, costs nearly nothing to charge, and is environmentally friendly.
It gets you there faster and without sweating. My eBike goes 50KPH. I arrive at my destination with no sweat.
I'm sorry, but you're being very ignorant. A motorbike is thousands of dollars, requires hundreds of dollars per month in insurance, requires licenses, maintenance, fuel, etc.
Not to mention not everyone can ride a standard bike. Older people, people with chronic illnesses, etc. I personally had a double lung transplant. I'm not pedal biking, nor am I paying $750/month for motorbike insurance in my province.
In your case it is more than justified then.
But that does not imply most will agree with you.
