You are basically a supercomputer, if you're lucky you get atleast 30,000 charge cycles over your lifetime, and the waste you generate is biodegradable.
- jws 17y agoAccording to wikipedia, human muscles are only about 20% efficient. Right there meatbags have lost to the electric bike before we even consider the efficiency of digestion, food preparation, and transportation. (Pardon while I wave hands about electrical transmission line losses, battery energy return rates, and electrical motor efficiency. I'm fairly certain we can even be so silly as to burn food to power the previously coal fired electric plants and the battery/motor combination still wins, but it will be close in that circumstance.)
