Abstract:

Electric bicycles (e-bikes) represent a rapidly growing transportation mode and evolving policy area in the United States, which reflects their benefits for health, accessibility, and tourism. E-bikes are similar to conventional bicycles but have a small electric motor and battery. E-bikes have a number of applications as personally owned bicycles, in bikeshare fleets, for urban freight delivery, as adaptive bicycles for people with disabilities, and as mountain bikes on recreational trails. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is advancing research on e-bikes to better understand trends and impacts, and how jurisdictions around the country are managing them.
