It’s marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you’re an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

maybe not a moped but proper gas motorcycles can hit 70+mpg (city?), aero starts to matter at highway speeds, which is why electric touring motorcycles probably still don’t exist.
is it just because ebikes generally are going 15-30 mph? because they seem really efficient even compared to motorcycles
it’s weight at low speeds and then not having the high speeds’ drag when you never go all that fast. people generally don’t want the e-moto for a 100 mile trip because they’re trying to do it in less than four hours and none of the constraints really work out for that.
as well as the low(er) speeds bicycles in general are just really good at weight vs. transportable weight. I mean you can fit like 5 people and luggage in a car, for example, say what, 800kg of load? Even if you do this in a like a Gen 1 Twingo, miserable as that might be, you’d be looking at about 1:1 car weight vs. transported weight.
a 30kg E-bike has little problem transporting a 100kg perso, so more like 3:1 on that front.
They do, but the range is still an issue
They claim this one goes up to 400 km on a charge.

huh 400km isn’t too bad compared to a goldwing
lmao
Didn’t notice the ‘Sign in to vimeo’ before lmao.
It’ll take 4 hours at least to recharge. This is an exeptional range. Most of the electric tourers get up to 250.
