Not to mention all the combustion engines that already exist around the world. Just look at the prevalence of motor bikes in India and Southeast Asia. Can we really replace all of them with electric tech? Synthetic fuels or ethanol are a drop in replacement.
Small engines are awful for emissions of lots of nasty things other than carbon. Converting small engines to battery electric is a huge win for health outcomes far beyond climate change.
E-bikes and electric scooters have tons of daily range. For cases where you need more range quick swap stations like gogoro make it fast, cheap, and simple. Unlike cars where the battery is huge personal mobility batteries are pretty small and don’t need special tools or lifting capabilities.
