I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is quite good. Interestingly, e-bikes are claimed to have lower emissions than acoustic bikes, although it likely depends on diet (the author didn’t specifically compare a vegan diet between the two types but did indicate that vegan + electric is the most carbon efficient form).

    As a non native English speaker, why is it “acoustic” bikes? What does acoustic have to do with bicycles?

      its a play on words of the 2 main types of guitars (electric and acoustic) Basically a joke implying that if one type of bike is electric, the other must inherently be acoustic.

      It’s e-coustic, actually.

      A lot of us native English speaking cyclists wonder the same thing.

        My buddy calls them “naughty” bikes, as in “not e”. I think it’s cuter than acoustic.
