RE: Carbon emission comparison (Electric Bike vs Peugeot 107): Is an electric bike worth it?
Interesting comparisons. As a Dutch person raised in Australia and living in Thailand, I have to smile though. The Netherlands is TINY and SO FLAT and that makes all the cycling culture work. Unfortunately not an option here in mountainous Northern Thailand or huge Australia, where 60km plus (each way!) is a normal daily commute in outer urban Melbourne. I would smile to see how effective the cycling is in Thailand where 35C is a cool day. Batteries also die very, very quickly here in extreme heat. But I'm glad you have the option and explain it so well. :)
One of the really HUGE developments the world desperately needs is better battery technology.

Yeah... every area will need to find it's own solution... the electric bike works really well in an urbanised and compact country like Netherlands (and most of Europe... and even most world-wide cities...) but other places will have to find something...
Solid State batteries...
