Motorcycle vs Electric bike which one is better? In my opinion there is no better or worst it all depends on what you are looking for. For example if you were looking for working clothe. The clothe you buy would depend on the type of work you do. If you are a banker you would not buy farmers' clothe and vice versa. The transportation method you will use will depend on your needs and desires just as your working clothe depends on your line of work.
Benefits of Electric Scooters:
E-bikes are running on electric motor which makes them cheaper to ride (especially with fuel prices rising). Electric motor also means no harmful effect on environment. Electric bikes are one of the greenest forms of transportation just plug them in to charge and ride.
E-bikes do not require riders to get insurance or drives license. No insurance policy saves riders substantial amounts of money on monthly basis. No license policy makes it a great way of transportation for students or drivers with suspended licenses.
Electric bikes are safer to ride as most of them do not go past 24 to 32 km/h. In addition e-bikes are classified as bicycles and are allowed in bicycle lanes. Riding in bicycle lane could save you a lot of time especially in high traffic areas.
Lastly, electric scooters are light and compact which makes them easy to store. You would not have much trouble finding a parking spot or storing your e-bike in your apartment.
Downside of Electric Scooter:
E-bikes are battery operated which does not allow long traveling distance. If you do decide to go out of town it could be a real challenge to find a station to recharge your electric bike. As the world progress we will start seeing a lot more electric charge stations, unfortunately that is not the case yet.
Benefits of Motorcycles:
Motorcycles allow riders to go on the long trips without worry as gas stations are everywhere. It could be slightly uncomfortable to travel for a long time on a motorcycle but nevertheless you have that option.
Motorcycles are a lot faster than e-bikes and cars for that matter. They allow riders to get to places faster. Speed also helps with longer journeys.
Motorcycles are excellent for high traffic urban areas as they are a lot smaller than cars and could easy fit between the cars in traffic.
Downside of motorcycles:
Motorcycle riders are required to get both insurance and drivers license. That puts motorcycles in a disadvantage as compared to electric bikes.
Motorcycles speed makes them a lot more dangerous. Every accident is a lot more likely to be fatal at higher speeds.
Gas motor in motorcycles is not good for environment. Carbon dioxide caused by motorcycle motor is one of the causes for green house effect.
It is up to you as a user to decide which one of these two transportation methods fits your life style better.
