Mmh, they won’t be able to build the solar panels or even the e-bike on their own, so it’s relying on the English as much as using a car.
They can probably breed their own horses and build their own buggies though.
I don’t get it.

You can tell it's a religion because they've got the hypocrisy part down pat.

With an ebike they can power it themselves with the solar panels, whereas with a car they are continually reliant on the outside world for fuel. It's pretty minor and I would think they would need spare parts sometime, but that's the difference that I can see.

A surprising new type of vehicle - a bicycle! What a low effort article.

Not just a bicycle, an ebike. And while it's funny to think of them pedaling to charge it, the article also says they use solar panels.
