The Best Bike Is One That Gets You Out of Your Car
17 May 2023 | Abstracted from Bicycling
"We can't beat climate change by simply switching petroleum for plugs; we have to use less energy, period...Fortunately, e-bikes do exactly that. The energy capacity in a single Tesla Model 3 battery is enough to power 100 e-bikes."That car will produce 36 tons of carbon dioxide in its total life span, including production. An e-cargo bike will create about 300kg of CO2...I need to replace about 1,000 car miles to 'offset' the lifetime emissions from making the bike."
