Increasing E-Bike Adoption Just 15 Percent Could Cut Emissions 12 Percent

September 16, 2020

The Portland State University-based researchers found that each e-bike could save the planet a whopping 496 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions each year — roughly equivalent to the annual carbon output of each computer in the average U.S. household. And yes, that’s even accounting for riders who might charge their e-bike batteries off of a dirty, coal-powered electrical grid.
