also still has the same rubber pollution from tyres breaking down as a combustion car
most bicycles also have the tyre problem, but obviously significantly less as the tyres are smaller and experience less wear
EVs have worse rubber and brake pad pollution because they are a lot heavier. Some of that might be, theoretically, offset by regenerative braking but that is trusting multiple million people to not drive their car like fast & the furious brained dicks.
Anyhow, your average marathon schwalbe puncture superproof, among the heaviest tyres, weighs about 750g a pop, so 1,5kg for a bicycle. Your average car tyre weighs about 8kg. If we assume you ride both of them just into the fucking ground, like near rim on asphalt type situations, you can do this 21 times over for a whole bicycle before you get one car of tyre wear.

good point, i forgot about the weight difference

yep, even at the extreme less tyre means less broken down rubber to fuck up the environment

That’s only if you don’t burn rubber on your bicycle. Put the trucks and sports cars to shame with your 2 calfpower speedster.
There are non oil bike wheels made of natural rubber. Haven’t tried them yet
