Both e-bikes and power bikes are very popular in Europe, especially in urban transport. Many cities in Europe have become more cycling-friendly, encouraging citizens to ditch their cars and move quickly around the city. In fact, the benefits of cycling are tenfold and the EU takes cycling seriously. very seriously.
The European Transport Commissioner recently published the European Cycling Declaration, a plan including long- and short-term goals aimed at unlocking cycling’s full potential. The Declaration laid the foundation for future cycling legislation and set out a total of 36 principles aimed at promoting the development of cycling in the EU.
The EU emphasizes the sustainability and convenience of cycling, emphasizing that switching to two-wheelers not only benefits personal health, but also society and the economy. Almost all European cities now have bike-friendly infrastructure, allowing both bicycle and e-bike riders to enjoy a safe and efficient experience. The new EU manifesto hopes to take this trend even further and hopes to further “increase cycling mobility”.
Key manifesto measures include improving cycling infrastructure and making it easier to combine cycling with other forms of transport such as buses and trains. The European Cycling Declaration contains a total of 36 principles (all of which can be found in the white paper linked below), covering key areas such as infrastructure development, increased investment in the cycling industry, cycling tourism and improved data.
Speaking about the cycling industry, EU Transport Commissioner Adina Valean sees great potential in the cycling industry as it provides better job opportunities in Europe, especially in training and cycling tourism. “The declaration recognizes cycling as one of the most sustainable, accessible, inclusive, cheap and healthy forms of transport and recreation, and its central importance for European societies and economies,” Valean told French e-mobility publication Clean Rider.
There are currently high hopes for the e-bike industry and the cycling industry in general. In Germany, for example, sales of e-bikes are expected to surpass sales of conventional bicycles by 2023. Additionally, the global e-bike industry is expected to exceed US$120 billion by 2030.
