Note how you can park and charge at least 5 e-bikes in the same space as it takes to charge one electric car. And the bikes use so little power a solar panel awning is enough for them.

    From what I understand Japan does one better with a battery standard. No charging needed, at least not on your time. Just exchange for a new brick and go when needed for a small fee.

      I saw a video of something similar in Taiwan for electric mopeds where the people can just pick up a charged exchange battery at any time. AFAIK, the moped owners didn’t even own the batteries and just rented them from the service. This would allow people to not have to worry about long term battery recharge cycle health of batteries that they own going down over time.

        There is somothing like that in my city. But we also have normal bikes too. I personally always use the bikes, a bit of exercise it’s always good.
