They are typically about 100 times lighter, sometimes even more. In the case of e-bikes their battery is also typically about 100 times smaller than an electric car battery.</p> <p><br></p> <p>But as you will here in this interview with Erik Bronsvoort, bicycles still take a lot of energy to manufacture and they’re harder to recycle than you might think.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Erik is a global authority on this subject, having co-founded Circular Cycling and written a ground breaking book on the topic.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The good news is that if manufacturers and consumers work together, there are solutions available.</p> <p><br></p> <p>To watch the video version of this interview, visit the Micromobility Report website here:</p> <p>https://micromobilityreport.com.au/influencers/</p> <p><br></p>
