For comparison my cargo ebike, which is not particularly efficient, consumes about 30 Wh/mi (0.03kWh/mi) in medium assist while transporting an adult and two kids.

My road bike consumes energy bars! And fruit!

Surprisingly enough, this makes acoustic bikes less carbon efficient per unit distance than electric ones, depending on the details of your diet. Of course, once the emissions are that low, this is more a curiosity than actionable insight (beyond the typical "less meat/dairy = lower emissions").

"Acoustic" bike? What is this madness?

I thought you were autocorrected badly but I guess this is a term people use?

It's a joke referencing electric vs. acoustic guitars.

What a coincidence, my cargo bike that regularly takes 50kg of cargo runs on the same stuff !

I get 30 miles per sandwich! Beat that EV owners! :P

What's in that sandwich though? The Cybertruck using California non-renewable energy creates 162g of CO2 per mile. A sandwich full of lamb generates 666g. A sandwich of lentils does 40g.
