Even if c/cars doesn't get much use, I think that's a needed offshoot for posts that deal with the tech but not urbanism. Most of the ebike posts I'd want to make don't fit in c/urbanism. Off-site communities for them like r/ebikes are heavily astroturfed by shitty companies selling dangerous bikes to teenagers, as are most of the review sites.

doesn't fit the theme of a sub-forum that's about removing car infrastructure

It seems to me that you've defined the theme of the comm more narrowly than you need to. I think its totally worth a meta post where all of us who browse c/urbanism can discuss and decide on policy related to e-bikes together. This decision making process, no matter the outcome, builds a stronger community.
