According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, approximately one-third of the nation’s residents don’t have driver’s licenses. In her 2024 book “When Driving is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency,” disability advocate Anna Zivarts argues that not only is America’s car-centric infrastructure harmful to the climate, it also fails to meet the everyday needs of many Americans.

    OMG I’m such an idiot. I thought e-bike was like an e-scooter. Thank you so much for clearing that up!

      Nah, like for an e-motorbike there’s like 5 KW needed as battery and it lasts like 60 km. (The vehicle weighs like 120 kg) and goes usually like 75 km/h.

      While my e-bike only has a 0,75 KW battery and lasts 90-100 km.

      The pedalling lowers the amount of energy needed by quite a bit.
