When we talk about electric vehicles, it’s easy to get caught up in the buzzwords — sustainability, zero emissions, carbon-free future.
But let’s crunch the numbers: what does one electric bike actually save in terms of CO₂ in a year?
The Problem with Petrol Motorcycles
In countries like Kenya, where motorcycles make up over 50% of the national fleet, most of them are fuel-powered boda-bodas. On average, a standard petrol motorcycle emits about 2.5 kg of CO₂ for every liter of fuel burned.
Considering a delivery rider burns through 1–2 liters per day, that adds up to 900–1,800 liters a year, or roughly 2,250–4,500 kg of CO₂ emissions from just one bike!
That’s over 4 tons of CO₂ from a single rider.
Enter Fleevigo E-Bikes 🚲⚡
An electric bike produces zero tailpipe emissions. Even when factoring in electricity generation, an e-bike’s carbon footprint is up to 70% lower than a petrol bike.
So when a rider switches to a Fleevigo EV, they save about 3–4 tons of CO₂ every year.
To put that into perspective:
- 🌳 That’s equivalent to planting 150 trees every year.
- 🚗 Or avoiding the emissions of driving a petrol car for 15,000 km.
- 🏭 Or cutting the same CO₂ as recycling 1,500 kg of waste instead of sending it to landfill.
The Bigger Picture
Now, imagine 10,000 riders switching to Fleevigo e-bikes:
- That’s 30,000–40,000 tons of CO₂ saved per year.
- Equal to the annual carbon absorption of 6 million trees.
- Enough to make entire cities cleaner, quieter, and healthier.
This is not just “green talk.” This is green math and the numbers don’t lie.
Why It Matters for Riders, Businesses, and Cities
- Riders earn more because they spend less on fuel and maintenance.
- Businesses benefit from faster, more efficient deliveries.
- Cities gain cleaner air, less noise, and a pathway toward their climate goals.
One bike, one rider, one decision, the impact is bigger than you think.
Fleevigo’s Mission
At Fleevigo, we’re not just building electric bikes.
We’re building a global EV movement, one that empowers riders, transforms local businesses, and helps cities breathe easier.
And it all starts with the math.
Because when the numbers add up, the choice is clear.
