When the comparison is done fair we should look what the electric bike
replaces. We should not compare unaided bicycles to electrically assisted
ones.
In China many electric bicycles are much sturdier than ones without
electric assistance. So one can zip away on the streets with the bike and 3
Very interesting.
So you're saying that there are tons of gasoline-powered assisted bikes in
China, and that these are what's being replaced, not non-assisted bikes.
I've never been to China, so I really don't know. I appreciate the information.

No. I'm saying there were tons of gasoline powered scooters and motorcycles
in the cities in China (like Shenzhen). Now they have been replaced by
electric scooters and electric bicycles. The electric scooter is usually
with SLA batteries and weights about 120kg (270 lbs). The electric bicycle
is
Got it.
Thx.

That is kind of naive, or not resulting from careful thought -
cleanliness of any electric use depends on the power generating source.
I have 6kW of solar at home - pretty clean. If I charged the light EV pack
with a gas generator that would be pretty stinky. Grid power around here

I used to ride a 1000cc motorcycle that got 30mpg.

Aren't EV miles *dirtier* for bikes? Don't they mostly use unassisted bikes?

I don't think keeping up with a bike is a pertinent point. A Model S can't
outdo a normal 4 cycle twin under 1000cc..

Motorcycles are particularly bad if you look at person miles per gallon,
but so many cars are driven solo. None of that is an issue for light EVs.I

I was referring to human power. Much more efficient.

I bet this guy did not even know he was doing something wrong. As this is
standard procedure on many Chinese cities. :D Most get away without a
single scratch as everyone knows bicycles are everywhere. Which is exactly
the opposite situation in most US cities. Right?
The thing to observe here
Not sure what this has to do with EVs, unless you're implying that the
electrification of his bike had something to do with his lunacy.
