Yes, e-bikes take more resources to manufacture, especially the battery, but:

While manufacturing an e-bike is more resource intensive than a pushbike, **lifetime CO2 emissions of an e-bike can be lower**, because a motor is more efficient than human muscles.

If someone has an E-bike, depending on how they use it, it's possible that it will **replace more car trips than a pushbike would**. E-bikes also require less physical fitness, which again can increase uptake among people who aren't as fit or have health problems, for example.
