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?
Horses can carry more than bicycles, are faster over short distances, better off road, require no spare parts, and run on grass.
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?
require no spare parts
IIRC a horse with a broken leg is not self-repairing but beyond repair.
What I’m saying is that horses with broken legs - and they break relatively easily - never heal fully, hence people shooting racehorses after they fall even once.
Not that I don’t think it is cruel, mind you.
