      It’s about 22-24% efficient which is the same as a carbon engine.

      Chemistry and physics, yo, stochiometric ratios. No free lunch.

      The difference is the mass component of F = M•A

      IIRC, even considering those losses, biking is still one of the most efficient forms of land transport. What I found interesting was a study that found that e-bikes were even more efficient than regular ones.
