Electric bikes are the most energy efficient electric vehicle on the planet, capable of travelling up to 40 times further per kilowatt hour than a typical electric car.
That's means with 1kWh an electric bike can travel the equivalent distance from London to Nottingham.

All trips in London up to 30 minutes are more than twice as a fast as on a bike than motor vehicle and goes some way to explain the growth in micromobility across London.
On a regular bike - it’s possible to travel 10km in 30 minutes. Whilst 10km isn’t far, 74% of all car trips are less than 10km.

Over the course of a year, 1 SQM of solar panels can generate enough energy to power an E-Bike for 45,000+ miles (73,000+ km).

In 2019 I conducted some research in Hackney and Southwark asking residents what they'd most like to transport on cargo bikes.
After children (72% of participants) and shopping (25%) - it was pets (4%).
Here is a dog in a cargo bike wearing a Christmas jumper (Jan `25)

@autocarofficial.bsky.social on why electric car manufacturers need to *obsess* over energy efficiency metrics.
Ultimately this means shifting away from autobesity and inefficient SUV form-factors 👏🏾

I would be very grateful for any photos people have of the comedy (i.e. not ideal) ways they are currently having to store electric cargo bikes (or E-Bikes) in London.
This will help with a pitch to councils! 🙇🏽♂️

Been wanting a test drive for a couple of years as this class of vehicle can be used for at least 25% of Europe's current car trips.

UK Electricity carbon intensity was 124g CO2e / kWh in 2024 🤯
A typical E-Bike ridden in UK last year was emitting 0.74g CO2 / km (grid-to-wheel) which is around *400 times* less than the avg UK motor vehicle fleet (tank-to-wheel).

Was wondering why a car park I used to go to is now getting terrible reviews.
Turns out people are really struggling to drive massive SUVs in multi-storey car parks which were not designed for such obese vehicles.
Not the car parks fault - it's the manufacturers.

One of the reasons an E-Cargo bike replaced 95% of my car trips in London (apart from being 30% faster and 90X cheaper).
Parking is glorious. 🅿️👌🏾
