    From my experience, the electricity consumption of e-bikes is low. We have a Babboe cargo bike and we drive 5km every day. I measure the electricity consumption of the charger, and it comes down to 0.5-1kWh per month. I assume regular e-bikes have an even lower consumption.

      A UK study showed that carbon emissions for ebike usage was less than human powered cycling, because UK people eat so much meat.
