Ran across this older TedX talk, that I found quite uplifting and inspirational. Bicycles or e-bikes can equally apply here.
And if you want to go beyond CHANGING YOU, to helping to CHANGE THE WORLD for the better, you might also be interested in this TedX Talk on the phenomenal energy efficiency of ebiking !
Try over 1300MpgE*. (e = equivalent)
Nothing else can beat it, but trains come somewhat close - when TOTALLY full of people, 800 to 1000 mpg. But we can't take trains everywhere.
So the REALITY is an e-bike uses the LEAST AMOUNT OF ENERGY going from point A to point B. A lot less than riding a regular bike. A LOT less, Because the efficiency of an ebike IMPROVES and then leverages your body's own metabolic and caloric efficiency to transfer that energy to move you.
Pedestrians get 55 MPGe. Bicyclists get 200 MPGe. E-Bikers on store bought food, 570 MPGe. 710 MPGe if you eat locally grown food.
* You can reach this, IF you use a Solar panel to charge your ebike, and eat locally grown food.
