How much CO2 does a motorbike produce?
If you travel 60 miles on a large motorbike, your motorbike’s CO2 emission will be 12.8kg of CO2e. You’re not sure about your motorbike’s size, but you travelled 8 km, so you will use the average size, giving you a motorbike CO2 emission of 0.9kg of CO2e.
Do motorcycles emit more CO2 than cars?
Turns out the average motorcycle is 10 times more polluting per mile than a passenger car, light truck or SUV. It seems counter-intuitive, because motorcycles are about twice as fuel-efficient as cars and emit a lot less C02.
Are motorbikes bad for the environment?
Motorcycles are less harmful to the environment in terms of resource consumption both in production terms and fuel. Cars take more passengers, but in reality most carry one person for most of their miles.
Has anyone made an electric motorcycle?
1. Harley-Davidson LiveWire: Overall best electric motorcycle. With an acceleration of 0-60 mph (0-100kph) in three seconds, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire measures up to many of this year’s hypercars. The electric Harley offers a range of 146 miles (or 234 km) and a top speed of 95 mph / 153 kph.
How much CO2 does it take to ride a bike?
In total, riding your bike accounts for about 21g of CO2 emissions per kilometer – again, more than ten times less than a car! And there is room for improvement as well. Europeans still eat quite a lot of meat, which needs up to 1500g of CO2 emissions per 100 calories produced.
How much CO2 does a car produce per kilometer?
On average, the production of a car alone accounts for 42 g of CO2 emissions per kilometer driven. But actually driving your car is what really bumps up greenhouse gas emissions, of course.
How does walking or biking reduce the production of CO2?
Thus: traveling the 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) produces this amount of CO2 above what was produced by respiration at rest: While the numbers aren’t exact, the large factor – 20 or more, is probably close. Walking or riding a bicycle does reduce the production of CO2 relative to driving.
How much CO2 does it take to drive a bus?
Considering the average road use of European car drivers, different fuel types and average occupation, and adding emissions from production, driving a car emits about 271 g CO2 per passenger-kilometer. Taking the bus will already cut your emissions by more than half.
In total, riding your bike accounts for about 21g of CO2 emissions per kilometer – again, more than ten times less than a car! And there is room for improvement as well. Europeans still eat quite a lot of meat, which needs up to 1500g of CO2 emissions per 100 calories produced.

How much CO2 to fill a flat tire?
For a standard dirt bike tire, one 16 gram cartridge can fill a fully flat tire to about 15 psi. Please reference our CO2 Inflation Chart to determine how much CO2 your specific tire size would need.
How is dirt bike riding harmful to the environment?
Nature can be enjoyed equally as well on a much smaller and quieter bike. There’s nowhere that a noisy 490cc bike can go that a quiet 200cc can’t. Recreational dirt riding hobby is destructive – to others and to the environment. “Green” recreational riding using motorbikes with gas/petrol engines is a little like “green” tobacco use.
