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

      We must solve every single problem in the entire chain at the same time or it’s not worth it. Apparently.

        Improvements to shipping emissions would have a much bigger impact than switching to electric bikes. The US not being so obsessed with beef and corn production wouldn’t hurt either.

          You seem to be misinformed maybe? Shipping is 3% whereas land transport is about 25% of ghg emissions

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
