If you can ride a bike (or a scooter)
Riding a bike (or an E-bike) will, for the most part, be just as fast as most other forms of transportation in the cities, especially during rush hour. If you are not able to walk or take public transport in the inner city buying an E-bike or an E-scooter could seem like a good idea, unless you want to be really sustainable and just use a normal bicycle or a kick scooter. The many public for-rent E-scooters that are placed around many larger cities are not really the sustainable alternative they seem to be. The life-time mileage of a public E-scooter is low but the resources used in battery production is the same as if you buy your own E-bike og E-scooter, but you will probably ride your own bike or scooter for much longer distances before they need to be recycled. Also be aware that public E-scooter are collected each night for recharging and put back in the city. This is done by ICE vehicles in most cases. LINK |
