 Having more e-bikes replace gas-powered vehicles for shorter trips bodes well for improving air quality. In places that have done e-bike rebate programs like this before, I know Denver, their average participant replaced 22 miles of car trips a week. So that's a lot of gas that they're not burning. The policy center says even when factoring in the manufacturing and charging requirements, an e-bike's climate impact is 93% lower per mile than a fossil-fueled car.
