Project results from the field of application of wide usage of electric bikes in urban and regional mobility
Results from the initial analysis
The analysis of transformation processes thus far has shown, that electric bikes can lead to more ecological and social sustainability. Despite a lack of significant political funding, a substantial market for e-bikes has developed within the span of only a few years. Moreover, with proper backing, this development could be strengthened even further. This should constitute one aspect of a sustainably-designed comprehensive strategy for mobility and transport.

Results from the first project workshop at the International Sustainability Transitions Conference on 9. September 2016
The first project workshop took place at the 7. International Sustainability Transitions (IST 2016) Conference in Wuppertal, Germany. As one of several side events, the workshop presented project results, supplemented by additional input from external experts for all three fields of application. An open discussion of the results then took place.
External experts Dr. Frederic Rudolph from Wuppertal Institute und Frank Joneit from the Regional Association Ruhr spoke on the topics of political measures, the ecological potential and infrastructure for e-bikes.

Results from the second project workshop on the SustEcon Conference on 25. September 2017
The second project workshop took place at the SustEcon Conference in Berlin, Germany. As part of several side events, the project team presented primal results, completed by suplementery input from external experts for the three fields of application. Finally, an open discussion of the presented results took place.
In the area of the wide use of electric bicycles, the experts Ruth Blanck (Öko-Institute), Kerstin Stark (team referendum bicycle) as well as Thomic Ruschmeyer (Federal Association Solar Mobility) spoke on transformations to uncomplicated electromobility, the referendum bicycle and the integration of electric two-wheelers in the urban traffic.
