Electric cars only have about half the total lifecycle emissions as gas cars, given today's grid.

Electric bikes are remarkably green - they have even lower emissions than regular bikes, accounting for the extra calories you need to eat to pedal.

They do, however, require safer biking infrastructure and more mixed-use zoning to become a more practical option for many.

Is there an e-bike megathread or recommendations in the community, or adjacent communities for that matter? I would love to find a good commuter bike

Bikes are cool and all until it rains or it's crazy cold or crazy hot outside. I'd rather have public transport than bikes everywhere.

I'm trying to reduce my car usage for my 40 km daily commute, and it also has helped me a lot in the health department.

So far i'm averaging two or three times a week.
