#E-bikes used to be seen as bicycles and bicycles only. But arguably—as commuters, families, delivery workers, and even cargo haulers turn toward the e-bike—it's becoming something closer to another kind of #EV spectrum.ieee.org/e-bike-com…

#EBikes have captured attention across the US, for good reason: They are energy-efficient, provide exercise, and are accessible for many types of riders. Hear from @drchrischerry @UTKnoxville, @johnmacpdx & Luke Jones of @valdostastate in @ConversationUS:

In @CityLab I wrote about a new study exploring the power/limits of e-bike rebates.
TLDR: Rebates lead more people to ride (esp those w/low incomes), benefitting public health & urban quality of life. But they're an inefficient way to reduce emissions.

2024 could be considered “the year of the ebike”, as our sustainable transportation program manager @johnmacpdx told the @guardian. After several years of false starts, electric bikes are finally entering the American mainstream: theguardian.com/environment/…

Our @PSUEdAbroad course this past summer explored sustainable transportation in Sweden and Denmark, with support from the Scan Design foundation. They toured the infrastructure, biked in the cities, and even ran into some @thomasdambo trolls along the way: trec.pdx.edu/news/students-l…

Key takeaways from a new @limebike study:
Low-fare Access users were more likely to be locals who commute using Lime
Everyone uses Lime to access transit, but especially Access users
Access users see shared micromobility as essential for their mobility

Stockholm’s 🇸🇪 1-Minute-City is about so much more than traffic calming.
It’s about nurturing social cohesion by putting human interactions back at the centre of communities and developing the full potential of streets👇👇

E-bike rebates are fantastic. So why are US states/cities making it so hard to get one?
