The Real Reason You Should Get an E-bike
It’ll cut your emissions. It’ll also make you happier.

How long do you need to use an electronic bike before you compensate the materials used for the battery - and the whole new bike, nowadays?
There's a lot more to the equation that just the battery. In term of over all pollution they're far better than a gas car. (220g CO2e/km vs 21-25g CO2e/km)
Okay. So...After 100 kilometers? 1 000? 10 000?
Also makes me wonder the equivalent information about a basic bike (non-electronic) 🤔
Even if you just paid cash for a car and thus that is sunk pollution we are not counting, not more than 3 years to make up the fuel. If you count the car you already did
I don't worry about the car in my point of view because I don't even own a driving license 😄
But to other's knowledge - good!
Do you know about the electric bike?
If you're worried about the pollution or carbon footprint of an ebike, you're wasting your time. Or a sea lion.
Everything pollutes. We are inside a mix of more or less polluting options and choices of life that lead to more or less waste.
Sometimes we get a little extra information of choices before executing them. And sometimes not.
My interest was to compare information 😄
Just buy a new battery.
Also, use a conversion kit on your existing bike.
Either way, less harmful than a car.
This didn't answer my questions 😅 Also, less harmful is very vague.

That is also true.
One thing I like about Reddit/Fediverse and friends is that when someone discoveries or has the answer, they can throw information in these parts for others to find out!
In the best-case scenario - a system like this can feel almost like a tight encyclopedia!
