LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
It's marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you're an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious
This only applies if you assume people are minimizing the amount of calories they spend, but for people trying to maintain a level of physical activity, switching to an e-bike would mean adding some other exercise to compensate, and it comes out worse.
Every e-bike I've seen has an adjustable assist level, including no assist. Actually the one time rode an e-bike I wanted to get a workout in, so I put good effort in on the minimum assist level. I got a great workout in and ended up with a really long range for the battery size.
Variable assist is so good, I can get a decent workout but I can also cheese out on a shitty hill
as a child i used to dream of such a thing. i loved riding my bike but grew up in hill country. i even tried to fix an old moped until i realized how shit and heavy they were
if someone sent an ebike back in time to little me i'd have rock hard legs and ass today
I'm gonna argue the % of people who compensate their e-bike trips with other means of exercise consciously is somewhere in the second point after the comma
I'll bite. Curious to know how pedalbikes have more footprint, along with the horse comparison. I suppose people are driving to bike trails or something like that?
Been so in love with my commuter ebike, really trying to be a sort of living by example ambassador to others, showing them anyone could do it.
Meat and Cheese has quite the carbon footprint and while a bicycle is really good as per energy conversion, meat and cheese just ain't
TIL manual bikes are worse for the environment
I still love my road bike :(
Been a muscle powered cyclist for a while now and as I age I've noticed I'm just not putting in the miles I used to and my bike mostly sits idle. I think an ebike would get me out and about a lot more. My partner pushes hard against the idea though because cycling is one of their only forms of exercise (but we almost never ride anymore). The joys of interdependence
assist-only bikes might be for you. they don't have a throttle they just help at a certain speed or torque to make the hills easier
E-bikes are cool and I'd definitely get one if they were usable here more than, optimistically speaking, 50% of the year.
I go everywhere on my electric unicycle, which I assume is in the same box as ebike & electric scooter
