Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

      extremely expensive.

      Not compared to owning/maintaining a car.

      And winters.

      Say it to delivery workers in Moscow. No, say it to Finns.

          Given winter being almost constant weather condition in Finland I assume they don’t stop delivering because they are on another side of melting point.

          And about Russians yes. I see food delivery workers using ebikes entire year in any weather.

            Or how to prepare for winter delivery in Saint Petesbirg.

            TLDR:

            1. Warm clothes
            2. Not an iphone or any other poorly-designed piece of crap that won’t last even few hours

      To bad a decent electric bike is extremely expensive.

      I’d say decent ones are down to about $1000 these days.
