Cars are the main means of transportation for modern travel. However, this has also caused serious traffic problems. Car congestion at intersections and highways has become a common sight. Environmental pollution and fuel shortages have increasingly become huge obstacles facing the global society.

The relationship between electric bicycles and the environment

In response to this situation, electric bicycles have begun to become an ideal means of transportation for people. Because e-bikes run entirely on batteries, every time you choose to use an electric bike instead of a car for an errand, you’re making a choice that reduces your carbon footprint.

Not only that, electric bicycles also have the advantages of simple structure, light and beautiful appearance, low operating costs, and higher energy conversion efficiency than fuel vehicles, and are especially suitable for use in densely populated areas such as large and medium-sized cities in the United States. As a green means of transportation, electric bicycles are a big win for the environment no matter from the perspective of environmental protection or energy.

Comparison of Magicycle electric bicycle and car emissions

First, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that accumulates in the atmosphere, causing global warming, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, flooding land cities, destroying the ecological environment, reducing biological species, and harming human health.

Every time you drive a conventional gasoline-powered car, you release about 404 grams of gasoline per mile driven. Over the course of a year, this adds up to an average of about 4.6 metric tons.

In contrast, let’s look at electric bicycles. They don’t emit directly into the environment, but they do require energy to charge the batteries. How this energy is generated depends on the grid in your area, let’s take the Magicycle electric bike for sale as an example: According to experiments, a full charge of the battery releases about 173 grams of CO2 on average.

How many miles each rider can go on a full charge depends on how much pedal assist they’re using, how much cargo they’re hauling, and how often they rely on the gas pedal.

So, let’s say you turn on your e-bike’s motor and start working, and go 40 miles on a full charge. Combined with the aforementioned 173 grams of CO2 released on average for this charge, that breaks down to just over 4 grams of CO2 per mile. This means that driving a Magicycle e-bike instead of a petrol-powered car for one mile saves you around 400g of CO2 emissions! This is not an exaggeration, this is a real comparison of data analysis.

Excessive carbon dioxide content in the air causes the greenhouse effect, so we must promote low-carbon life and keep low carbon dioxide emissions. Reduce the use of fossil energy and make more use of clean energy.

Contribution to the environment by all riders of Magicycle electric bicycles

Do you know? Driving 20 miles per car releases the equivalent of 8.8 pounds of coal;

Do you know? Driving 40.5 miles per car releases the same amount of carbon emissions as powering a home for an entire day;

Do you know? Driving 54.5 miles per car releases as much carbon as a 10-year-old tree absorbs annually.

Think about it. In everyday life, you ride your bike to the grocery store, ride to and from restaurants, ride your kids to and from school, and even ride to visit friends. Electric bicycles can replace cars for all short trips you can think of.

What’s even more exciting is that you’re not alone, as more than 800,000 cyclists from more than 30 countries around the world join your ranks, things start to get big and exciting. If you don’t have an electric bicycle yet, but you want to join the ranks of “low-carbon travel, protect the earth”, you might as well go to Magicycle’s official website, in addition to the popular models such as Cruiser and Ocelot , Magicycle will also launch the Deer full suspension ebike in 2023. This Deer perfectly combines the advantages of hiking, mountain, and urban electric bicycles, allowing you to enjoy many different types of electric bicycle functions for only one car. A Deer can completely allow you to ride comfortably and comfortably on any road including cities, grasslands, beaches, and mountains.

If each cyclist only rides 3 miles a day with a Magicycle electric bike, 960 metric tons of carbon dioxide (400*3*800,000) can be saved. Of course it must be more than 3 miles a day. do you know? 960 metric tons of carbon dioxide is equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of 206 cars! In fact, Magicycle’s 800,000 riders’ contribution to environmental protection and the earth is far more than that.

The power of one person may be small, but the power of many people can burst into infinite possibilities. Committing to spend more time every day riding an electric bicycle instead of driving a gasoline car is one of the most impactful things that can improve the environment. As a Magicycle e-bike owner, we hope you think about those numbers the next time you’re out and about. And when you start to go out by bike instead of driving, you are making a contribution to environmental protection and working hard to jointly build a better living environment.

Come and join us for low-carbon travel together.
