280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles
arstechnica.com
E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.

    Fuck yes ebikes!

    Not only do they slash oil demand, but manufacturing and maintaining an ebike has a fraction of the environmental impact of an electric car. Also, you can do a lot of the maintenance yourself with cheap tools and a small amount of work space. Also also, makes my ass look good~🍑

      Also, unironically, e-bikes are more fun than cars. You feel the acceleration much more on a bike than a car despite moving slower, and the breeze going by you feels pretty nice too.

      Not to mention a lot less likely to kill someone.

    I have an ebike, and I really want an electric scooter/bike once the range can be improved, currently they couldn't get me to and from work (it's a long commute)
