  Personally I’d go with an electric bike since it needs significantly less time to charge given the same number of solar cells.

    EV’s are probably best for an actually realistic scenario where energy infrastructure is destroyed or there is a mass fuel shortage, both things that happen all the time around the world in times of crisis.

    But as far as actually apocalyptic scenarios it’s hard to beat a bicycle which doesn’t require a global supply chain to maintain.

      But you need to supply and maintain the chain

      Well… there are things like tires, tubes and components that would be hard to create.
