E-bike environmental impact in comparison to other forms of transport - lemm.ee
I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is
quite good. Interestingly, e-bikes are claimed to have lower emissions than
acoustic bikes, although it likely depends on diet (the author didn’t
specifically compare a vegan diet between the two types but did indicate that
vegan + electric is the most carbon efficient form).
sorry. Im not going to buy that someone with a horrible diet on a standard bike is going to be less environmentally friendly than an e-bike. This is just a smell test thing. I will accept that e-bikes could beat out public trans or such and that some folks might do an e-bike where they won't do a standard one. Including those with bad diets who might not be able to handle to much of a workout and even great in shape folks can go farther or go to places and arrive in a condition appropriate to what they are going to with an e-bike.
