The crux of the electric motorcycle is they no longer are a bicycle so you need it to be able to go to the full speed of the road which for a lot of place is 45 mph that means the bike can’t just have a top speed of 45 mph because at lower battery that top speed will drop and if there is a hill you are going to lose even more speed. Now try to find an e motorcycle that has a top speed closer to 55mph not from a sketchy company and it’s much more expensive.
As others have said bicycles work great on flat terrain but my commute has 450ft of uphill and while that’s not a problem for a fun bike ride it does mean arriving to work sweaty that for a professional job is considered unacceptable so when you add in needing to change at work and the slower speed that can be easily 30 minutes a day which even at minimum wage is over $900 a year that easily covers the cost of the bike
