Gas Bikes vs E bikes etc. (and why it is important)

     When thinking of ways to help reverse the carbon burning that we humans seem to be really rely on, I have not only found a great and fun alternative to gas and race fuel powered bikes. Since around 2013 is when I started to see E bikes and E carts floating up and down California, Arizona as well as other places in the west coast through youtube. Companies like Surron, Talaria, Ronster Rides and even the legendary Harly Davison have come up with fully rechargable alternatives.

    Why is this important? "Gas and race fuel powered motorcycles can pollute the environment just as much as cars do or even more. The internal-combustion engines of motorcycles are very efficient in converting fuel to energy but produce large amounts of harmful pollutants like hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, albeit with lesser CO2 emissions. Motorcycles emit many pollutants into the air, including hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. They also emit carbon dioxide and particulate matter, albeit in less quantity compared to larger & heavier vehicles. All these pollutants are harmful to people & the environment." (motorgearexpert.com)

    This next fact also found interesting is the fact that bike are more fuel efficant but But on the flip side, the two-wheeler produced 416% more hydrocarbons, 3220% more nitrogen oxide, and whooping 8065% more carbon monoxide. (8065%,3220%, 416% is on some extra out of pocket type shit). So for me the safe and best bet is for us whole love to ride should consider the switch the the green side when we talk about vehicles so we can bring those percentages to (maybe on day) 0% (hopeful thinking) 

    Now, some people dont like Tesla because they are not the prettiest cars in the world (or the fact Elon Musk is a Nazi soluting fool.) For that I would say the market is open for other cars but the E moto bikes, E mini bikes, E dirty bikes, E quads, and E carts are crazy looking vehicles. For example: 



    
with technology to create alternative E bikes and etc. has already caught the kids attention through videos on youtube with channels like Sur Ronster who has amassed over 1.7 million subscribers just based on him building and riding his E bikes and E carts through out LA on and off road showing off performance and speed and even some practicallity. Way too many companies are popping out within the E Rides seen that they are getting more comfortable, more powerful, faster, and some are even getting cheaper to get (1,000-10,000$) and very modifiable.
