I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is quite good. Interestingly, e-bikes are claimed to have lower emissions than acoustic bikes, although it likely depends on diet (the author didn’t specifically compare a vegan diet between the two types but did indicate that vegan + electric is the most carbon efficient form).
A lot of us native English speaking cyclists wonder the same thing.
My buddy calls them “naughty” bikes, as in “not e”. I think it’s cuter than acoustic.
