Gasoline engines by 2040 will be even cleaner and efficient than they are now. Most motorcycles will do 60 to 100 miles to the gallon. They should be looking at vehicles with 4 wheels +. That's where most of the emissions come from. People driving landrovers to pick the kids up from school. Unless it's a work vehicle, tax on large displacement vehicles needs to be much higher.

The ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars comes into force in 2035, so they are acting against cars first. Petrol bikes will be around for decades after 2040 if you still want one and petrol will be available also as it will take decades for the millions of petrol cars to reach the end of their useful life. By 2050 electric motorbikes will in all probability be way better than anything petrol powered we have now. Chill enjoy your bike now and into the future.

Keep taking it Brit’s instead of dishing it out

It's a "win" for ICE-producing motorcycle companies and, of course, oil companies. 2040 is a long time away; a child born in 2024 can feasibly be taking or in college by the time this ban on ICE motorcycles takes effect. Meanwhile, there's quite a number of paths of changing or defeating this bill so it's no longer effective, but only one path of success for the bill to survive intact all the way to 2040. Call it what it is; a very successful delaying tactic that puts off actually changing power plants for an entire generation's time.

It will be Maaaddd. Mmmaaaaxxxxxxxxx.

Ok I'm going to say it... if you want net zero scrapped... Vote Reform .. got to give them ago..just use oil...

Eventually, you'll start shilling for electric bikes and saying things like "honestly I'm loving these ICE bikes" and none of us will believe you.. you'll need to keep working, so we'll just all pretend together..

I have to be honest as someone who is an advocate for changes to fight climate change, this community is not effectively combating this potential change. Carbon emissions as a result of the majority of personal vehicles, especially motorcycles are significantly dwarfed by emissions by the top 10% of earners internationally. It is the same in aerospace industry etc... this is an ineffective policy which is just going to result in the erosion of forests in the global south to source rare earth elements for electric vehicles. The community should definitely be fighting this. Net zero makes sense but this does not just look at the mpg for a motorcycle

@langhamp8912

Ай бұрын

Never mind the top 10%; the emissions outputted by the .1% (limited to just a few hundred families worldwide) dwarfs the bottom 40% of the population. Rather than do hard things first, we could just cap the number of private jets trips to, say, half of what they are now...and that'd probably have many times the effect of having every single motorcycle in the world follow emissions. There's so many fast and easy ways to climate change, but so long as the rich can continue to buy their way out of public systems (ie private schools, private jets, private medical care, private accountants, basically private systems with public emissions) then emissions will still be tremendous.

True but electrically powered vehicles are already on third less polluting because the inefficiency of a petrol engine is avoided. The next step is to make sure the electricity comes from more sustainable sources. Hydrogen is not a true solution because it costs a lot of energy to produce it in enough quantities. Furthermore, cheaper recyclable batteries made out of less polluting substances are already being produced. Whatever people’s instincts are: in the end the science is indisputable.

@nickwinn7812

That's just a lie. Electric vehicles are just a recyclable as ICE vehicles. The resources need to produce them are no more finite than those for ICE vehicles. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the universe and therefore extremely difficult to distribute and store, as well as be way lower in energy density than petrol. THAT's why we aren't talking hydrogen power (at least not in the rational, informed world we're not).
