That's complete BS. Off-road stuff can't possibly contribute to 90% of pollution even if everyone had a V8 off-road buggy and used it every weekend. It is waaaaaaaay less than 1%.
- quickthrower2 3y agoDoes off road include farm machines, lawn mowers, etc.
- KennyBlanken 3y agoA single 2-stroke leaf blower generates more pollution than several hundred SUVs. Now imagine the impact of a single 2-cycle outboard or motorcycle. https://www.google.com/search?q=2-cycle+engine++pollution https://www.google.com/search?q=2-cycle+engine++pollution
- winrid 3y agoAlmost nobody uses two strokes off-road. Like it's not even relevant to the discussion at all. Two strokes are almost completely gone in the western world save leaf blowers. Outboards have been largely 4 stroke for decades. Motorcycles - a very very small number of performance oriented bikes are two stroke, at least in the west. Motorcross people still use them but that's such a small number. In other places they are being phased out too.

- winrid 3y agoThe problem is when people say "off road" in this derogatory way it makes it sound like hobbyists like me are the issue. We're not. It's industry - large shipping boats are a huge contributor.
