i am >>871. let's compare the translations once more
>自転車ほどではないにしろ、ただ走っているだけでかなりのエネルギーを消耗する。
>He's saying that that the energy consumption of the Motorads are less than that of bicycles.
>"Even if it's not [as exhausting as] bicycling, just driving [the motodora] consumes/takes quite a lot of energy."
did you spot the difference? you missed the subject and therefore couldn't properly translate the sentence.

let's use simple logic. does a bicycle consume energy? (hint: it doesn't.) would it then make any sense that a talking motorbike uses less energy than it?
