Subsidizing e-Bike Benefit

The effects of subsidising e-bikes on mode share and physical activity - A natural experiment

Highlights

  • A subvention program for e-bikes led to a significant 12.6 percentage point increase in the bicycle mode share.
  • This modal shift was observed in individuals who transitioned from using conventional bicycles, public transport, and cars.
  • The subvention program resulted in an overall increase in cycling and active transport.
  • Further research, employing more precise measurements, is needed to evaluate the impact on overall physical activity.
