William Nederpelt• Vice President ECF • Board member Dutch Cyclists' Union • President DCU branch Dordrecht• President Rond Uit Dordrecht• Cyclist

Global policy context• Climate change – commitments
– So avoid, shift, improve• UEMI (urban electric mobility initiative)
– boost the share of electric vehicles in annual vehicle sales to 30% (2-3 wheelers and light duty vehicles)
– integrate electric mobility into sustainable urban transport - achieves a 30% reduction emissions in urban areas by 2030
• Development / Habitat– Urbanisation – mobility that addresses greater
urban scale– Access and exclusion for everybody – affordable
mobility
6
EU Policy context• Halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ cars in
urban transport by 2030• Strong regulatory regime for e-bikes• Leading industry in sector• ECF New Technology Study
– 8 policy areas, 32 specific initiatives/ directives / work plans could benefit from new cycling technologies
– Transport, innovation, air quality, environment, low carbon development, health, economic growth & cohesion, industry

Cycling uses new technology
• Distance is extending• E-bikes
• Registration / monitoring• Handling of payment etc• PT- bike
• Knowledge is extending • Measuring not only intervals but
the total routes, speed etc• ]

1 / 3 of new sold bikes in the Netherlands are e-bikes

E-bikes: Key consumer benefits
• Keep cycling benefits:– Health– Reliability– Congestion busting– Cost– Storage– Environment– Combined mobility– No licence– Use cycle infrastructure– Bike sharing
infrastructure
• Remove/reduce some cycling barriers:– Range
• Now 10-20km as standard– Hills / wind– Heat – Strength concerns
• Age, gender, disability– Perception of safety
• Safe start– Slowness
• 25km/h – 45km/h– Loads/goods /
passengers
E-bikes need a new infrastructure

Policy• Shift of policy (Dutch
gov)• Station to station
• Door to door• Bicyle storage• Railwaystations• Busstations
• Maintenance service• Rental service
• Bike sharing and e-bike sharing – a form of PT– take pressure off PT
congestion and bus routes
– sharing instead of caring
Cycling as public-transport
• Customer oriented– Easy to use– Easy to pay– Neutral profile
• Business focus– Less public space– Less damage – Profit

Bicycle count• No knowlege of – av. speed– stops (TL)– time– tracks– additional transport– combination with wheater
wind / rain

First resultsThe Netherlands
• > 55,000 participants• > 2 milion kilometer• Av speed >18 km h • > 180,000 trips
Belgium
• >1,750 participants• > 70,000 kilometer
- Saving• CO2 reduction >1 mil
kg• > 7 milion Florin
>€20,000)
16
Why does it happen• Availlabity of mobile devices• Innovation of bikes (infrastructure)• New ways op cooperation– Not top – down– Netwerking (e.g. start up’s)
17
Conclusions: What cyclists offers you
• Affordable, accessible transport modes• Proven, coste co-benefits• Sustainability as an equivalent for
innovations• Globally available solution easy to
implement• Highest cost-benefit ratios • Complement / part of public transport • Proven consumer take up• Demand from people / cities
18
Interventions to maximise effect• Toughened restrictions on polluting vehicles
(VW)• Higher status & support in e-mobility research
and deployment • E-bike sharing pilots in a range of economies
and urban forms– E.g. Athens, Rotterdam
• Development of infrastructure standards• More trans-national research/pilots on legal
frameworks & technologies (EU-rules). – Eg. Batteries, recycling, speed limits,
infrastructure
19
Incentives
• Fame– Image
• Fun– Recreation– Sport
• Finance– Time • travel time and working
time–Money • costs and savings
