I don't understand the near zero emissions bit, as c02 is a product of any combustion. Is the argument that it's just significantly less?

  yeah. a 200lb motorcycle with 200lbs of rider uses a ton less fuel than a 3000lb car

    Based on the numbers in the original comment, it seems like it uses about 1/4th of the fuel, which means it would emit 1/4th of the co2. A 75% reduction is definitely something to celebrate, but its not what I would call "near zero emissions (better than electric emissions )".

      120 mpg is similar to an electric car (if you consider the electricity). Electric motorcycles/ebikes are still ~2x more efficient (small gas engines suck), but a gas motorcycle is still pretty good compared to a car (especially once you start taking into account the infrastructure/congestion/road wear).
