Conference ·
OSTI ID:2228318

E-bikes have been quickly growing in popularity in recent years. Access to e-bikes poses an opportunity to improve mobility options as a comparatively inexpensive yet similarly convenient alternative to car ownership. This study focuses on the outcomes of the CanBikeCO program developed by the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), which provided e-bikes to low-income users in sites across Colorado. This is the first large-scale, longitudinal evaluation of how privately owned e-bikes are used, revealing energy, emissions, and behavior implications.
