Reasons to be Cheerful: Electric Bikes are Better Than Electric Cars

November 18, 2020

My new electric bicycle is a game changer. I had good intentions last year of cycling over to the beach and swimming and cycling back. I did it once. I was knackered. But now I can get there and back in two thirds of the time and not break a sweat. I’m looking forward to a great summer. 

Although there is an environmental cost to manufacturing an electric bike and battery, it is a lot more environmentally friendly than an electric car.

But the great thing is I can charge the battery using my off grid solar panels in the studio. There is no way I would be able to charge an electric car up there!
