Are you a new e-bike rider? Keep these safety tips in mind: 1. If you are first starting out, start in the lightest assist mode, then go up in mode as you become more comfortable. Practice shifting gears – use an easier gear for riding uphill, and shift to a harder gear when riding downhill. 2. E-bikes are heavier than traditional bikes, so they require more braking power and may take more time to stop. Shift into an easier gear before stopping for an easier start again. #rightsizeyourride #micromobility #localtravelnetwork

I am considering buying an electric bike! 🚴 I had the opportunity to ride one while on a tour in Italy last summer. An avid road biker for years, I was a little skeptical and had to get over my own feelings of “e-bike, is that cheating”? Well, my first electric assist up a steep incline had me sold! One of the e-bike tag lines is “You, only better”. Who wouldn’t buy into that? Are you already an e-bike convert? What is your experience, what should I consider? Can you share a picture of your bike? #electricbike, #epectrifyeverything #ebike

This week's #WordOfTheWeek : E-bikes (electric bikes) An #electricbicycle, also known as an e-bike or #ebike, is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor used to assist propulsion. Many kinds of e-bikes are available worldwide, but they generally fall into two broad categories: bikes that assist the rider's pedal-power (i.e. pedelecs) and bikes that add a throttle, integrating moped-style functionality. Both retain the ability to be pedaled by the rider and are therefore not electric motorcycles.

"People with e-bikes are biking more often, and they are biking longer distances... The added attraction of an e-bike is that trips become easier and faster, so you can get more done in the time that you have... "In virtually all of the countries where e-bikes are a majority of bike sales, governments have offered financial assistance for purchases". Interestingly, bike lane width is beginning to be a problem with cargo e-bikes in Many European countries. "Any urban planner right now should take the official guidance for bike lane width and double it... we’re getting to the point where we need to start thinking about an entirely separate network for electric micromobility — not just lanes. You can set aside entire streets dedicated to vehicles that are lighter and slower than a car. I’m not yet aware of any city or country doing that". "Compared to Europe, in North America you have a greater population of people who’ve never cycled for everyday travel. For that reason there are more people in North America who are buying an e-bike as their first adult bicycle, or using the e-bike to get places or do chores that they’ve not used a bike for before. So the benefits of e-bike adoption in North America may be greater than in Europe, because more car trips could be replaced." #ebike #cycling #urbanmobility #transportplanning #electricbike #RoadSpaceAllocation https://lnkd.in/gkfxAtxD
