    Are electric motorbikes and tricycles heavier than their gasoline-powered equivalents?

      Likely, but damage to roads increases with the square power of vehicle weight per wheel, meaning that just by virtue of being half the weight per wheel than cars their impact on road degradation is negligible.

        Oh, nice, I didn’t know that we have hard numbers on this. Cool, thank you.
