However, poplar wood is biochemically complex and more difficult than grains (like corn for example) to break down and liberate sugars for use in biofuel production.

The government assisted the shift by giving sugar companies subsidized loans to build ethanol plants, as well as guaranteeing prices for their ethanol products. Both production and consumption of ethanol were basically flat for much of the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. This process accumulates a certain amount of latent (stored) energy.

Typically, an electric bike can run for 30-50 kilometres (20-30 miles) between charges. Recharging a battery can take 5-8 hours, but costs only a few cents a day.
