I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is quite good. Interestingly, e-bikes are claimed to have lower emissions than acoustic bikes, although it likely depends on diet (the author didn’t specifically compare a vegan diet between the two types but did indicate that vegan + electric is the most carbon efficient form).

      An acoustic bike is a joke term for a regular bike; think of the comparison between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar

          Analog is the opposite of digital, which doesn’t describe an electric bike.

            “Analog” has been used to say “the older, pre-computer version” since for decades now. It’s fine.

      Another term for a non electric bike. Like electric guitar and acoustic guitar. No idea why you would call it that, but it’s only used in a smal circle of enthusiasts.
