165 kg to produce eBike
vs
5.5 tonnes for a small hatchback
Then the running CO2 of an eBike is minuscule compared to a car.
Then congestion, road safety etc etc.
This is why cycling as whole should not be held under the same scrutiny of being 'green' as other private modes of transport.
Trek is doing this to sell more bikes. Its greenwashing something thats already green. Like the new national rail logo.
