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).

      An acoustic bike is a joke term for a regular bike; think of the comparison between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar

      Another term for a non electric bike. Like electric guitar and acoustic guitar. No idea why you would call it that, but it’s only used in a smal circle of enthusiasts.
