10k km a year on a bike means riding it for more than an hour every workday. Not a lot of people willing to do that, i think. If that were truly the breakeven distance (i know you didn't really say that) ebikes would be screwed in terms of ecological impact.
- Xylakant 4y agoThat’s half an hour to work, half an hour back. Not outlandish, if you compare normal commutes.
- eesmith 4y agoAssuming 250 work days (50 weeks * 5 days), that's 40km/day. I don't think most people bike at 40km/hour. Across a year, that averages to 27.4 km per day, biking each and every day. If done in an hour, that's rather faster than my average biking speed of about 16 kph.
- dmos62 4y agoI said more than an hour. I think an hour on a bike is something most people can stomach easily, but it gets annoying fast once you go above that.
