You don’t claim zero emissions like the other guys – are your bikes dirty, or something?
Sadly, there is no zero emission method of moving us around short of walking or riding a bike. But an e-moto is the cleanest powered way to travel around town on the highway, hands down. If you are concerned about global warming (and we all should be), the Spark M4 is responsible for less than a tenth of a pound of CO2 per mile traveled (assuming the US-average carbon intensity of about 1.75 lb CO2/kWh). Compare that to half a pound for a light electric car or about a pound for the average petro-fueled 4-wheeler on the road. If you get your power from solar electric on your roof, then you truly are zero emissions. And we all give you a big "thank you!"
