You're pointed in the right direction, but you're missing a lot of inputs. The energy to produce an E-Bike is much higher than to produce a regular bike. I'd also argue that the E-Bike won't last as long, and is less recyclable.
Also the power coming out of your wall in BC is not all hydro. All of the production in BC is hydro yes, but we are a net power importer, and that imported power does not all come from renewable sources.
