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.
As a non native English speaker, why is it "acoustic" bikes? What does acoustic have to do with bicycles?
its a play on words of the 2 main types of guitars (electric and acoustic) Basically a joke implying that if one type of bike is electric, the other must inherently be acoustic.
It's e-coustic, actually.
A lot of us native English speaking cyclists wonder the same thing.
My buddy calls them "naughty" bikes, as in "not e". I think it's cuter than acoustic.
