Thru regen braking, EVs reduce that (but bikes are even better!)
In fairness, regen braking is not all that common in ebikes, though some models do have it now. But bikes are better for the environment than cars in every way regardless.
It’s not that ebikes are regen braking, it’s that bikes are throwing less brake pad dust into the air due to the lower mass and velocity of the object involved.
A single brake pad on a car is around the size of the sole of a shoe, and they use 4. A bikes brake pad is around the size of a thumbnail, and you only need 2.
