Are electric bikes sustainable? What about the battery? How about the carbon footprint? If I told you that eBikes actually have a lower carbon footprint than regular bikes, or even walking, you’d probably think I’m crazy. In this video, I’ll be explaining how that and a bunch of other sustainability concepts make sense around electric bicycles. I hope you guys find it to be helpful. Let me know if you think I missed anything in the comment section!
Thanks so much for watching!
