Motorcycles

But what about motorcycles? From a safety and noise standpoint the motorcycle is maybe not the preferred choice in the future mix of transportation options. But one thing is better when riding a motorcycle than when driving an ICE car, the emissions.
A lot of people ride motorcycles. There are 600 million two wheeled commuters world wide. and in 2022 alone 60 millions were sold worldwide. LINK 
Motorcycles, scooters and mopeds are a quick and easy way of getting around in a big congested city, and they don’t require big public roadworks in the same way that cars and trains and buses do. But they are not very safe, they make a lot of noise and they sometimes create dangerous situations in traffic, and represent about 15% of the number of fatalities caused by traffic accidents. LINK 
But as for the emissions, 10km of riding a motorcycle emits about 1.13kg CO2e, or equivalent to driving 5.8km of driving in a car. Relative to this, 10km travelling by bus per passenger is about 1.03kg CO2e, or equivalent to 5.72km of driving in a car. LINK
