Since gasoline because unusable after awhile, most cars will become obstacles and block up roads.
So we of course want something that can zip around the roads!
The main advantages I see are:
-
Peddle when out of juice
-
Peddling charges the batteries, so in an emergency you can turn on the battery
-
The batteries can reasonably be charged by solar panels that a lot of houses have.
-
Gets around all the blocked roads.
-
Generally easier to repair.
-
The distance travelled on a full battery is absurd
I don’t expect any movies to put their heroes on an eBike, but they should!
IDK just thought you’d appreciate my dumb thought XD Any other reasons why during an apocalypse you should find an ebike?
I agree that bicycles generally are the vehicle of choice for a post-apocalypse scenario, but I’m not convinced an eBike specifically would be the ideal choice.
Horses can carry more than bicycles, are faster over short distances, better off road, require no spare parts, and run on grass.
require no spare parts
IIRC a horse with a broken leg is not self-repairing but beyond repair.
Quite insightful! I wonder if the sheer number of bicycles compared to horses would make bicycles more like passenger cars, and horses like light trucks?
