 I must confess my ignorance of the flora of Australia, electric bikes
don't grow on trees in the UK.

There are manufacturing techniques that - while being less green than growing the e-bike on a tree - don't involve burning a lot of fossil carbon. The fact that current manufacturing does involve converting a lot of fossil carbon to CO2 isn't any kind of evidence that burning fossil carbon is a necessary part of the process.
