I always love that @ternbicycles knows how to build bikes that speak to me, as. queer person.
The new Tern Orox: an all terrain cargo e-bike! In case I want to ride to the grocery store through the mountains! (Being very utterly serious about this!)
It's basically the Subaru for climate conscious lesbians like me
@kim_harding#eBikes will replace cars if we let them: "#infrastructure must make e-cycling as well as cycling safe, efficient, and attractive at the scale of the urban region. Electric assistance cannot compensate for the lack of cycle ways. ... must be thought in combination with other modes (walking, public transport, carsharing, #cargoBikes) to make it possible to live car-free… planning should aim to regulate urban sprawl and promote more compact development to avoid automobile dependence"
I biked from noe to the conservatory of flowers today with the kid on the back and HOT DAMN it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of my #biking life.
Gorgeous gorgeous day. Got to ride up Page #SlowStreet, which is just so lovely. Then down #JFK which is honest to good one of the most beautiful promenades on the planet right now. There was art! There was nature! There was community!
God, #SanFrancisco you can really show off when you want to.
"At this fair, instead of pony rides, games of chance and fried food, visitors took electric bicycles and scooters for a spin, watched cooking #demonstrations on #InductionStoves, and learned about other ways to make their homes and lives more climate-friendly."
My town has one every year: it's a party. People bring their EVs (two and four wheeled) for show and tell. Vendors have a showcase. There's food and music, and lots of people.
"Electric vehicles as a whole displaced about 1.5m barrels of oil a day globally in 2022, according to Bloomberg. Two-thirds of that – almost 1m barrels a day – was just from electric bikes and mopeds, which are known as electric micromobility."
Die Zahl der Diebstähle von E-Bikes und Pedelecs in Niedersachsen hat sich in den vergangenen drei Jahren verdoppelt. Mehr als 30.000 Fahrräder wurden laut Kriminalstatistik im Jahr 2023 gestohlen - darunter auch Tausende E-Bikes und Pedelecs.
Electric bikes from Decathlon have been catching our eye for some time now. One key model - the R500e Longtail - needed a closer look. Now the review is done our tester would like to hang on to it, which is about as good an endorsement as they come: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/decathlon-r500e-cargo-bike-review
Pro Jahr gibt es an deutschen Bahnhöfen etwa 2.700 Fundräder. Die Deutsche Bahn bewahrt diese mindestens zehn Wochen lang auf - dann werden sie versteigert. Dabei kommen sogar E-Bikes unter den Hammer.
Body of research grows that indicates the e-bike is a silver bullet for the transport ecosystem in reducing traffic & helping people become more active. Of course, mobile people stay & shop on high streets too, so not bad for the economy either: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/news/study-e-bike-riders-drive-less-trips
Vielen Dank. Leider sind historische Bestandszahlen nicht frei zugänglich.
Allerdings scheinen sie bei Ihnen im Hause auch vorzuliegen:
"Wie das Statistische Bundesamt (Destatis) mitteilt, standen zum Jahresanfang 2021 in den privaten Haushalten in Deutschland rund 1,2 Millionen und damit 20 % mehr Elektrofahrräder als im Vorjahr."
"Weitere Ergebnisse aus den Laufenden Wirtschaftsrechnungen (LWR) ... verfügbar."
New to #Portland Ride: East Neighborhoods, on April 30 at 5:30pm, group ride led by city staff to explore ways to get around by bicycle in East Portland neighborhoods! 7.5 mile loop, mellow pace, Lincoln Park (SE 135th & Mill)
I still think the most under-reported, most holy shit tech story of the last 5+ years is how good e-bikes have gotten and how much more affordable a decent e-bike has become.
E-cars and trucks are a nice change but mostly meh. E-bikes, tho? They are magic.
They deserve subsidies and way more press attention.
