Can you link those findings? I find this hard to believe since cars are so much heavier than motorcycles. Maybe a full van, is better emissions per capita? But with a single user for a car I am skeptical but open to being shown to be wrong

2022 numbers show motorcycles at 2/3rds the GHG emissions as cars.

So 2 people in 1 car is better than 2 motorbikes but 1 motorbike is easily better than 1 car.

I’m trying to figure out what their assumptions are for occupancy. I think I saw that a vehicle was assumed to just be driver +25 kg for cars, but I’m not 100% sure I’m reading that correctly
