Fuck cars, but was it really necessary to compare at such different speeds? Air resistance is a big factor and a proper electric bike can go 45kmh as well. Or the car can drive 25kmh
There’s some debate about that. E-bicycles above level 2 (with assistance at over 20km/h) are not allowed on a lot of bike lanes, so they’re more like electric motorcycles
The fact remains that cars are faster than bikes. Driving a car usually means going faster and hence wasting more energy. Sure, plenty of people deal with distances that necessitate such speeds to be practical in daily life, but that’s a different problem to be solved.
The different speeds are to make sure the graph pushes the agenda of the creator. All of them going the same speed would decrease the disparity between walking and driving.

It depends where you live. Here the limit is 400W. Which is probably not quite enough to hit 45km/h in ideal flat conditions.

I agree.
But if it’s a different problem to be solved the comparison is useless from the get go.
I think the speeds are the average speed of each transport type, so it’s fair.

You got lies, damn lies and statistics.
And this is one of those.
