Abstract

Jonathan will present what electric bicycles (e-bikes) are, how the technology has evolved, how the US market is developing, and share results from a recent nation-wide survey. This survey reveals who uses e-bikes, how they use them, and how they differ from traditional cyclists. The results shed light on the impact e-bikes may have on urban transportation in the US.
