I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is quite good. Interestingly, e-bikes are claimed to have lower emissions than acoustic bikes, although it likely depends on diet (the author didn't specifically compare a vegan diet between the two types but did indicate that vegan + electric is the most carbon efficient form).

Ok, so i am not a native speaker of english, so excuse my questions....

Whats an acoustic bike?

And if an E-bike runs with electricity, the acoustic bike runs when i scream at it?

Another term for a non electric bike. Like electric guitar and acoustic guitar. No idea why you would call it that, but it's only used in a smal circle of enthusiasts.
