280M e-bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars - eviltoast

“There were over 280 million electric mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and three-wheelers on the road last year. Their sheer popularity is already cutting demand for oil by a million barrels of oil a day”

    Love me e-bike. Don’t know what I do with out it. I’ve got the swytch kit which turns any bike into an e bike. It’s max speed is 25kph.

    Does anyone know of a similar brand that can go faster?
