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."

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.
Just started a spreadsheet to keep track of energy usage over time for my 2 ebikes. There's only the most recent "trips" (which I reset every time I charge the battery) so far - so, one entry for each bike.
The human efficiency numbers are very close, which is so Interesting! Average speed for these bikes are pretty close (but not recorded), so that's telling me that I'm putting roughly in the same effort, but supplementing with the motor to hit my desired speed.
searching for e-bike recommendations for my disabled ass, that won't break the bank and have an amount of cargo capacity even if it's like a few bags of groceries (more is better, i'm a disaster)? I need to nearly-never pedal and especially not up any hills or anything
@fuck_cars Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I'd get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a #AusPol#eBikes
"Finally, we find that even when #eBikes incentive programs are designed cost-effectively, the costs per ton of #CO2 reduced still far exceed those of alternatives or reasonable social costs of GHG emissions. We conclude that the argument for allocating public funds for e-bike incentive programs must be based on the co-benefits of e-bike travel and ownership, and not solely on GHG reduction" (like the 40k/yr people killed with cars, injuries, asthma & sedentary diseases)
“Bicycle deaths in New York City hit a 23-year high in 2023, according to new data from the NYC Department of Transportation. Of the 30 cyclists who died last year, 23 were riding electric bikes. “
So I looked up the article, and that is all it says; that’s the entire thing. Nothing about how they died, just that they died.
It seems that the #NYTimes is having a War on Bikes, especially #eBikes, and I wonder why.
Go for a ride on your bike. I do regularly, for no particular reason... from my little cottage, into the forests, with my parter who for some reason unknown to me tolerates my shit. 50km this ride, ebike for the steep mountain :)
Find a spot and sit, watch the birds before they're all gone . Wedge Tailed eagles, yellow tailed cockatoos, Wrens and finches today.
And what, call them motorcycles? If passed, this will not end well.
I’m very keen on e-bikes, I see older and less capable people riding them all the time and it increases the number of people on the roads cycling rather than driving. Apparently they have no plans at the moment to up the maximum powered speed.
If you way underestimate the climate benefits of #eBikes, subsidizing them is still a good deal. (Does driving cost society more than $0.02/mile? Yes, by a factor of 100 at least, but that also seems like a super low cost for the carbon. They say reforestation would be more cost-effective, but lately the forests burn up a lot.)
In Bloomberg CityLab, I wrote about a new study that explores the power (and limits) of e-bike rebates.
TLDR: E-bike incentives can compel more people to ride (especially those with moderate/low incomes), unlocking benefits for public health, street efficiency, and urban quality of life. But they're an inefficient way to fight climate change.
People have been using boxes on wheels to transport themselves and things for millennia. The issue is how fast #MotorVehicles can go, which in turn determines how far it is practical to #travel in one.
There will always be a need for weather protection and cargo capacity, but #society would look very different if motor vehicles were restricted to 20 mph, like Class II #ebikes.
Day 28 of my recumbent ebike build: first test ride! Quick ride down the street and back. Still found a couple things to tune up.
There’s a clicking sound from the front wheel area when it’s moving under load. Didn’t show up running the motor on a stand. I wonder if the motor cable isn’t secured as well as it should be?
The pedal assist needs to be dialed in some. It wasn’t detecting much power from me.
Even so, it went great! Everything else in that 0.1 mile ride worked!
I was able to diagnose that clicking sound. Here's a recording of it from my phone. Now it is showing up on the stand... what gives?
I'll need to open up the motor for that. Unfortunately, I don't have the right tool (it's a really small torx screw that I don't have a driver for), so I'll order some and fix this later.
Day 30 of my recumbent ebike build: Ordered tools to open up the motor and fix that clicking sound.
Fixed the pedal assist. I needed to set the cycle analyst to use 2-wire PAS encoding. Prior to that, PAS would only kick in when I was going below 5 mph. Weird!
Went on a couple rides today. Average efficiency is under 4 wh/mi (2.5 wh/km). That’s way better than I expected!
With that, I consider this build finished (for now)! Thanks for all the encouragement and feedback!
Scene: a wasteland of fascist car supremacy, stroads, millions dead per year, many more maimed, most of the rest coerced into working for their car and sitting in traffic awaiting extinction
Bike Advocate: "we should consider policy that prioritizes bikes, somewhat"
People: "not everyone can ride a bike."
