We hop in the car to get groceries or drop kids at school. But while the car is convenient, these short trips add up in terms of emissions, pollution and petrol cost.
I don’t know that this math is right on the ebikes.
If 200 million ebikes/mopeds displace 1 million barrels of oil per day, then each vehicle is using around one liter of fuel / day.
A typical ICE scooter would get about 50 km/liter of gas.
So this says that each scooter is being driven 50 km each day (assuming there were no emissions from the electricity generation, which seems unlikely.)

I find that hard to believe.
50 km is just 30 miles. That is only a half hour commute each way. A lot of scooters are working vehicles and would easily do 350 km per day.
