Find out why it's crucial for reports to focus on the potential of e-bikes.

According to the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, 60% of trips are less than six miles, and three-quarters of all trips are less than 10 miles. We have noted before that this is the fastest ride to zero-carbon; almost anyone can ride an e-bike for six miles under almost any conditions. If there were safe places to ride and secure places to park, then millions of car trips could be avoided, and millions of cars taken off the road. If only e-bikes weren’t totally ignored.

    I’d like to use an eBike, I’m central enough in a city that I could get a lot of places with it, but my main concern is that it would be stolen here. Bike theft of ordinary bikes is already bad enough, having a bike worth $1k+ stolen would be devastating, and I’m sure it would get targeted even with a good u-lock.
