Are these things actually a net positive for the planet? Watch an extended cut of this video on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/simonclarkCheck out Electroheads...
You aren’t the person I [edit: originally] replied to and you are missing the point entirely. This is not a comparison of how healthy it makes me overall, nor is it a comparison of the time it takes, which your assumptions are off. My exhaustion level or informal way to put the physical energy I expended for the day is held the same.
It’s a simple calculation of emissions over distance. Food emissions / distance by bike vs. Food plus electricity emissions / distance by ebike.
…. The fact that you need to include food at all to make it appear better is the issue… since you still need that food regardless in every other situation….
You realize the original video can be wrong or miss a point entirely yeah?
It seems you disagree about including or are just ignoring outright the part about distance travelled in the calculation. That’s fine with me. I won’t push the issue any further. Have a pleasant day.
I am attempting to point out the massively glaring flaw in doing so, since you must omit the rest of days calories from the calculation for it to be better, which is exactly what the video is doing……
Give the bike the same situation and calculation to remove the bias and propaganda and get back to us. Yes removing a key metric will of course make things look better… I’m sorry this is so hard for you to comprehend. The distances have to be the same to be able to compare them, or its apples and oranges. Yeah you can burn the same amount of calories, but it takes longer and more distance…… it’s not thebsamr thing at all dude. Use a specific situation, biking to work, now do the math and see which is better, include the food uses if you want (but account for additional calories for the rest of the day as well), but in the end the situation has to be identical… come on…
Why are they even bringing food into the equation? Maybe start there and you can see the flaw in doing so.
I don’t have enough data to tell you about energy consumption on my daily commute to work. I can try getting a fitness app to track it and get back to you if you wish in 3-4 weeks time, let me know.
It’s about energy, emissions created from the energy generated, all normalized over the distance travelled.
