      A plant based diet has a CO2 intensity of ~1 g / Wh

      Yes, and since our metabolism is very inefficient you actually need to eat almost 4 watt hours worth of food for 1 watt hour of energy output, everything else just turns into body heat. Meanwhile ebikes have an efficiency of roughly 70-80% when accounting for charging losses and motor efficiency.
