E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.

    Have other people had good experiences using these in Canada?

      I’ve seen them around, even in the middle of Prairie nowhere. Not in the winter much though. I haven’t gotten the chance to try myself.

      They’re everywhere in Vancouver. It’s probably better biking weather now than it is most of the summer.

      But biking in the snow should not actually be a problem in Canada. It apparently used to be very common. See this video: Not Just Bikes - Why Canadians Can’t bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)
