Great report from ITDP on the important role ebikes can/should play in urban transportation, and how universal charging infrastructure can play in making ebikes more affordable and accessible. #charginginfrastructure #ebikes #transportation #micromobility

This ITDP report is very interesting indeed. We will keep pushing for a universal wireless charging infrastructure that dramatically reduces the charging costs for shared micromobility operators and as a result opens the possibility of price reduction so more people can access these services.

🚗🚜 The 3-Wheeler Advantage: Why Less Can Sometimes Be More⁉️ In the world of vehicles, the conventional wisdom often leans towards four-wheelers. However, three-wheelers are carving out a niche for themselves with a host of unique benefits 1️⃣ Enhanced Maneuverability: With one less wheel, three-wheelers offer superior agility, making them perfect for navigating through congested urban areas and tight spaces. 2️⃣ Fuel Efficiency: Generally lighter than their four-wheeled counterparts, three-wheelers often deliver better fuel economy, reducing both operating costs and environmental impact. 3️⃣ Lower Production and Maintenance Costs: Fewer parts mean lower manufacturing costs and simpler maintenance. This can be a significant advantage for both manufacturers and owners. 4️⃣ Accessibility and Versatility: From personal transportation to commercial use, three-wheelers can serve diverse roles, including as economical alternatives for delivery services and small businesses. 5️⃣ Eco-Friendly Options: Many three-wheelers are leading the way in the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, offering a sustainable transportation solution. 🇳🇱 And why the Netherlands? The Netherlands is uniquely positioned to be a leader in the three-wheeler revolution, at home and Europe-wide: 🌍 Innovative Infrastructure: With its advanced and bike-friendly urban infrastructure, the Netherlands is well-suited for three-wheelers, which can seamlessly integrate into the existing transportation ecosystem. 🌱 Sustainability Leadership: The country is a global leader in sustainability initiatives, making it an ideal environment for promoting eco-friendly three-wheeler EVs. 💡 Cutting-Edge Technology: Dutch companies are at the forefront of automotive technology and design, continually pushing the boundaries of efficiency and innovation. 🚴♂️ Cycling Culture: The strong cycling culture and early-age education in the Netherlands fosters a mindset open to alternative forms of transportation, making the transition to three-wheelers more acceptable and appealing. In a world where efficiency and adaptability are increasingly valued, three-wheelers present a compelling option, also with a competitive pricing, often set 30% better priced than future upcoming light electric vehicles 🚗 That’s food for thought in a changing vehicle landscape. Could they be the future of urban mobility, with the Netherlands leading the charge? #Transportation #Innovation #UrbanMobility #usecass #ThreeWheelers #Sustainability #Netherlands #avairx

EVs are not the enemy of cycling, but we should do more to get people out of cars. “Countries should introduce EV subsidies in a way that doesn’t widen inequality or stimulate car use at the expense of other transport modes. But that’s what ended up happening here in Norway.” “Everyone agrees that 100 percent of cars should be electric. That’s not the question. The real question is whether you really need to own a car in Oslo.” Some people love to pit electric vehicles against bikes, and I think that is a particularly unhealthy lens through which to view transportation improvement. In my view, we should be encouraging cycling as much as possible, especially in cities, as riding a bike is zero emission, drastically lowers congestion and significantly improves your health. So, we should be upgrading cycling infrastructure to reduce the friction points of biking, the biggest being safety and theft, especially with merging it with transit. We should also be making car ownership harder in cities, Of course, cycling isn't always practical. Its much harder in a Canadian winter, difficult to get a family's worth of groceries, hard with young kids and it can't cover distance quickly. Sure, some people will do all of these, but its a hard sell for most, especially when you're trying to get people out of a car. Electric cars don't solve congestion or improve your fitness, but they do drastically reduce harmful pollution and carbon emissions compared to IC vehicles. This is incredibly important for every country, and great news for cyclists. It's worth having a closer look at Norway though. 🇳🇴 Norway's EV subsidies were some of the most generous around, which stimulated rapid growth, but also created an incentive to buy more cars at the expense of cycling or transit. I have not seen this phenomenon occur anywhere else. If you can't afford or its impractical to own an IC vehicle, its also the same an EV. In other words, EVs AND cycling are both huge improvements over IC vehicles, and they benefit each other. Meaning, we could do with a lot more of both. Do you agree that EVs and cycling are complementary? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below #automotive #batteries #cycling #electricvehicles #innovation #sustainability

🚗🔋Embracing the Future: License-Free Electric Vehicles & the Ligier Group's Role🔋🚗 As we navigate the evolving landscape of transportation, one trend is becoming increasingly clear: the rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Among these, a unique category is gaining traction - license-free EVs. These vehicles, designed to be compact, eco-friendly, and easy to operate, are transforming urban mobility. License-free EVs are a boon for city dwellers, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional cars. They are typically limited in speed, making them ideal for short, urban commutes. Moreover, they often come with the advantage of reduced parking and road usage fees in many cities. One company leading the charge in this sector is the Ligier Group. Known for their innovative approach, Ligier has been producing license-free vehicles since 1980. Their electric quadricycles, like the Ligier EZ-10 and Be Up, are not only environmentally friendly but also offer a unique blend of style, comfort, and safety. Ligier's commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident in their products. They are not just creating vehicles; they are shaping the future of urban mobility. By making EVs accessible to a broader audience, including those without a driving license, Ligier is playing a crucial role in the transition towards a greener, more inclusive transportation landscape. As we move forward, let's embrace these changes and support companies like Ligier that are driving this evolution. After all, the future of mobility is not just about getting from point A to B; it's about doing so in a way that's sustainable, accessible, and beneficial for all. #LicenseFreeEVs #LigierGroup #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport #ElectricVehicles

🚲 How to lighten a pedal-assist bike and at the same time offer a range comparable to those that mount heavy battery packs? The answer can be found in the Anod Hybrid, a new hybrid bicycle model marketed by the French company Anod, which combines a supercapacitor and a pocket battery. This is not the first time that innovative ideas have come from France to overcome the problem of autonomy and handling of electric bikes. We recently told how another company in France had launched a model of pedal assist bike based on two supercapacitors instead of the classic rechargeable battery. The weak point was in the thrust duration that these can guarantee on particular slopes. The energy stored in a supercapacitor in the sections of elevation gain or regenerative braking is little. It can support pedaling in the slope change for a certain distance, but it runs out. #SENnews #environmnent #globalwarming #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainabledevelopment
