From a carbon emissions standpoint, e-bikes are slightly worse than bikes. For most people, though, the right comparison is to between e-bikes and cars. One study estimated ~50% of car trips are under 3 miles. In other words, get yourself an e-bike and it’s better for you, and the environment.

IMPORTANT: This ranks a bunch of ways we get around cities, using average carbon emissions by transport type in grams per pkm. It breaks emissions down by operation, manufacture etc.
Feet and bikes win. Lots of ways beat electric cars, and everything beats gas cars.

Das ist sehr viel besser als einen 2t- schweren klimatisierten SUV 2- 10 km zu bewegen und Klimawandel anzuheizen.
Die Armen und die auf klimafreundliche Mobilität setzen,stehen übrigens auch bei 40°C an der Bushaltestelle.
Bike is not good cause requires balance and also there is no sound blocking.
The kart was betters
But hey, if they can't stop you, it's okay, right? No matter how inconsiderate it is.
So if you're older, have small children or are just walking, it's getting too dangerous, and you wind up driving.
We blame each other instead of cars, who use most of the space.
