The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

@kayo77 I live in a rural area and don't own a car and I have an electric cargo

@spillanemike It depends on how far you are from your destination and the weather. Here in Poland, it's difficult to drive at -10°C and with several centimeters of snow.

@kayo77 @spillanemike

With several centimetres of snow, your not going to be driving an automobile either, but a tractor.

@iju @kayo77 @spillanemike I surely don't need to explain that a decent car (granted, not a subcompact one) works reasonable well on snow to someone from FINLAND of all places. Even with bikes, the problem is probably not with several centimeters of snow itself, it's just too slippery.
