There should be a rowboat before or after the bike.
Mate you ever rowed a boat? That shit is hard work, it goes below the bike for sure
Of course, the pedalo manages to combine the worst of both worlds and seems to exist solely as a way to work your quads out without looking like you're doing a gym session
If you have good balance, I think paddle boards are more efficient than a kayak, assuming your not carrying a load. You can put your whole body into the stroke. Kayaking destroys my shoulders
Anecdotal information from my observations only: I have two paddle boards, and a tandem kayak. When we go out, the person(s) in the kayak are always able to go faster with less effort - even if they are solo. Rowboats with oar locks are generally faster still, and none of us can even hope to keep up with one of those Hobie kayaks with the pedal driven mid drive.
I agree in perfect conditions, but paddleboards are completely impractical as transport. I once got blown out to sea by unexpected high winds while on a paddleboard and I was lucky there was a boat going past to pick me up. Kayaks on the other hand can handle rough seas and carry many days of food.

Yes, both rowboats and canoes are fun and not much work unless you are trying to directly overcome a tide or current.
Is a motorcycle really better than light rail?
Is it meant to be an electric bike?
it's Dutch and the standard icon for an ebike here is a normal bike with a lighting bolt or battery icon
They already have a bike on there.
Damn, I need to print these out
How is a moped better than a tram?
Edit: I mean for the environment, I'm sure mopeds are better than trams in other ways - like for doing tricks and making quick runs to the supermarket to get bread and milk
Poor tanks 😑
Weird that the longer bars are worse. It's a cognitive flip, even if what it may represent (carbon footprint, maybe? Fossil fuel expenditure?) is growing with the lower tiers. Oh, and whoever made the poster missed the fantastic opportunity to use Heil! instead of hell.
The design of the bars is borrowed from the European energy efficiency labels for electronics. On those labels, longer bars mean higher energy consumption. So it's probably meant to reptesent either fuel use or general environmental impact here.
