280M e-bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

theconversation.com The world's 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

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

"There were over 280 million electric mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and three-wheelers on the road last year. Their sheer popularity is already cutting demand for oil by a million barrels of oil a day"

Love me e-bike. Don’t know what I do with out it. I’ve got the swytch kit which turns any bike into an e bike. It’s max speed is 25kph.

Does anyone know of a similar brand that can go faster?
- swytch kit THANKS for the tip on that. Been thinkin a long time about adding a 750w hub motor and throttle to my old Specialized. (New e-bike prices are NUTS)
