Study: E-bikes and mopeds cut oil demand 4x more than electric cars

Researcher argues e-bikes better than EVs for short commutes on environmental grounds

The analysis challenges the prevailing narrative that electric vehicles are a universal solution, noting that for short trips (under 10km), which comprise 44% of Australian and 60% of US commuter trips, electric bikes and mopeds are more efficient. E-bikes cost $20 annually to charge for a 20km daily commute versus $720 for EVs, and use far less energy per passenger.

“But to see them as an inarguable good is an error. They are cleaner cars, but they are still cars, taking up space on the roads and requiring a lot of electricity to power them.”
