From bike to electric bike level-of-service

Transport Reviews, 2022
The evaluation of electric bike (e-bike) riders’ perception of comfort can lead to a better understanding of user requirements. This can be performed through Level-of-service (LOS) studies. To date, the e-bike LOS (ELOS) concept is scarcely developed and research concerning e-bike travel behaviour characteristics is relatively sparse. In this paper, we

Extending life on the bike: Electric bike use by older Australians

Journal of Transport and Health, 2015
Abstract Older age may bring physical limitations but for many people, the desire to remain active does not diminish. To remain active, and continue the physical and psychological benefits of physical fitness, people need options that support continued movement; one option is an electric bike.

Next generation electric bike E-bike

2017 IEEE International Conference on Power, Control, Signals and Instrumentation Engineering (ICPCSI), 2017
The primary objective of the project is to design a feasible yet highly adaptable E-bike. As the number of motor vehicles on the roads throughout the world increases at staggering rate each year, the dependence on oil-based fuel grows almost unchecked.

Study on the Bike Path Width Considering the Electric Bike

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
More and more electric bikes appear on urban roads. Conclusion, which based on the analysis of the differences between electric bikes and ordinary bikes in size, speed, is that existing bike-lane-width calculating method cannot meet the needs any more. This paper presents a method to correct the calculation of bike paths width in urban area.

Self-sustaining strategy for a hybrid electric bike

2013 American Control Conference, 2013
Electrically Power Assisted Cycles (EPACs) have been gaining attention as an efficient and clean means of transportation. In this work, the concept of full hybrid bike presented in previous research is further developed by introducing a charge sustaining strategy.

Electric Bikes and Transportation Policy

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2012
Electric bikes (e-bikes) are increasingly common in China but are relatively rare in the United States. The findings from interviews with 28 e-bike owners in the Portland, Oregon, region provide insight into the potential market for and use of e-bikes in the United States.

Electric Bikes in North America

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
The research described in this paper was conducted in part to understand whether different bicycling technology–-in this case, electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes)–-could reduce barriers to bicycling such as trip distance, topography, time, and rider effort.
