E-bikes for the win!

In response to Berkeley's draft Electric Mobility Roadmap, Walk Bike Berkeley analyzed the potential role of e-bikes. We found that e-bikes have significant benefits relative to electric cars. They provide dramatic reductions in climate emissions while making our streets safer, improving public health and improving access to affordable, equitable transportation.

Walk Bike Berkeley’s E-bike Report, describes these benefits, assesses the relevance of e-bikes to a large proportion Berkeley car trips, reviews barriers to adoption, and suggests solutions to help e-bikes meet their potential here in Berkeley.
