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.
