Substantially less CO2 emissions for E-bikes A European Cyclist Federation study concluded that after factoring in CO2 emissions produced during electricity generation, an e-bike s carbon footprint is just 2.6-5 grams of CO2 per mile (depending on the source of the electricity), compared to 150 grams for most electric cars and 136 grams for scooters.

Growth of Electric Bicycles Navigant Research estimates annual global sales of e-bikes to reach 40 million by 2023 China accounts for about 80 percent of all e- bikes sold In 2016, e-bikes accounted for nearly 6 out of every 10 bikes manufactured nationwide, according to the Japan Bicycle Promotion Unit, which tracks bicycle production in the country
Potential to encourage more cycling Brighton, UK Survey - 70% of participants said they would cycle more if they could access an ebike Car mileage dropped by 20% by the group (sample >100) 59% of group reported an increase in their physical activity E-bikes were popular with groups less likely to be cyclists zx eg women and older people Majority of people would like to use an e-bike but that price is a major barrier leading for the need to provide better access.
Use for bike-sharing Velib in France will incorporate e-bikes in their system in 2018. Includes an electronic V-box that enhances connectivity, with RFID and NFC reader inside, the Vélib 2018 is fully connected and will be recharged by a dynamo. This V-Box allows the rider to activate and lock the bike on the padlock and includes information like the rental time, riding distance, navigation indications and so on. Source: Bike Europe
Summary Motorcycles/ Scooters will continue to increase in many or most of the countries in some countries/ regions motorcycle taxis are increasing and becoming more popular There is an opportunity to transform the motorized 2- wheeler fleet into electric Electric bicycles have the potential to increase people cycling and reduce motorized travel Develop policies to favor electric 2-wheelers instead of ICE and integrate with renewable energy Develop policies to properly integrate 2-wheelers into transport systems Source: Bike Europe
