In a world obsessed with electric vehicles (EVs) and the flashy allure of shiny bobbles like the Tesla Cybertruck, a new sustainability study suggests that the unsung heroes of green mobility are the humble e-bikes, scooters, and mopeds. This exploration delves into the surprising environmental and financial benefits that these two-wheeled wonders bring to the table.

While EVs are making waves in the automotive industry, these e-bikes and mopeds are stealing the spotlight when it comes to environmental impact. According to a new report from The Conversation, e-bikes and mopeds are currently displacing four times more demand for oil than all the world’s electric cars combined. . . .

Breaking down the numbers reveals that the sheer volume of electric two- and three-wheelers on the road dwarfs traditional four-wheeled electric vehicles. With over 280 million electric mopeds, scooters, motorcycles, and three-wheelers last year, these eco-friendly alternatives are already cutting global oil demand by approximately one million barrels per day.
