Electric cars? Nah, we want more electric bikes   


The EBIKE act launched two years ago, had proposed giving Americans a $1500 price tag reduction on a brand new Ebike. The reason this was proposed was to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions drastically. After all, a bike gives off much fewer emissions than a traditional gas-powered car. Both electric cars and electric bikes are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than their gasoline-powered counterparts. On March 21st, a new version of the e-bill was introduced with the full support of environmentalist groups.

Of course, it's worth noting that both electric cars and electric bikes have their unique environmental impacts, and the specific impact of each will depend on a variety of factors including the type of energy used to power them, the manufacturing processes involved, and the way they are used and maintained. Ultimately, both electric cars and electric bikes can play an important role in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing our impact on the environment.
