E-bike environmental impact in comparison to other forms of transport
E-bike environmental impact in comparison to other forms of transport
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).
You're viewing a single thread.
Remember, you can offset carbon emissions by buying more carbon fiber bikes :)
Just don't crash them, bump them in the wrong spot... Or really, peer at them too intently lol
Yee-yee, aluminum frame gang (with carbon fork).

Only thing I've broken on my acoustic carbon bike was my shoulder. Oh, and I snapped a pretty new chain once trying to pedal when the light turned green (which I think also messed up one of the teeth on the crankset).
Yeah, I've heard a lot about the fragility, but I've been happy, and the only real scratches are on the (carbon) wheels.
A torque wrench is mandatory though, unlike a steel bike where gorilla strength is probably ok!
