Some older (pre 21st century ) motorcycles have a kick starter in addition to the electric one, and it does actually come in handy.

On newer bikes if the starter fails or the battery dies you need to unceremoniously push the bike to speed, jump on and put it on first.

AFAIK quite a lot of 21st-century motorbikes still have that. (Some of them probably still only have that.)
