"E-bikes produce virtually no greenhouse emissions after manufacturing"
Except for the electricity to charge it, which could either come from clean or dirty power. True about the lack of exhaust though.
Then it leads to the question about the efficiency of generation, distribution, and battery charging vs the distribution and burning of gasoline. Also the weight of the bike. Perhaps someone else has already done the math on this.
