RE: Carbon emission comparison (Electric Bike vs Peugeot 107): Is an electric bike worth it?
Given the amount of CO2 released by bushfires caused by environmental regulations preventing controlled burn-offs, this analysis is pretty moot.
But its interesting nonetheless.
I think the better question is how much money you can save by getting rid of your car and using an electric bike instead combined with a car share for things a car is really necessary for.
I'm not sure that the controlled burn off is being limited by environmental regulations. I think that the fire services themselves have already come out to correct this unfortunate misperception.
Definitely a car share would be a much better solution in the future for us, however at the moment with two young kids we have need of a car more often than is viable with a car share (we've looked into it already!). However, as they get older it becomes a better solution!
