Likely to fight climate change, the world will have to quickly move away from all 5 seat and more vehicles for the general public and provide free electricity for people to ride ebikes/mopeds) (which can become fancier with covers for winter, heated seats, etc).
the fact theyve already dropped emissions by so much alongside oil demand dropping by 1% specifically due to ebikes shows this works.
Personally i dont have a car and bike, but im planning on buying an ebike come spring time.
multimodal transportation will also help a lot if people were allowed to safely store their ebikes in transit hubs and come back to find them all charged up

I feel like the framing is weird. It talks about it briefly in the article, but the lions share of this is China, India, Pakistan, ASEAN, etc, going from mopeds and motorbikes and 3 wheelers with 2 strokes to electric versions than a western e bike
Not that ebikes are bad. If anything I’d tax cars way more. But that picture should be far less western mom with kids and far more vietnamese uncle smoking unfiltered cigarettes

The share of pure EV cars (not just vehicles in general) in Indonesia in q4 2025 was 25%, much higher than the EU and US average, and this is becsuse when charging infrastructure started to pop due to ebikes, then the transition to EV cars was logical
In 2030 I expect that there will be virtually no ICE cars sold in the world outside the rich western countries who will stubbornly still buy over 90% of 2030s ICEs
