“There’s a steep hill NEAR my office that I’ve named The Demoralizer. THE e-bike, it’s a total game changer. I NOW show that hill who’s boss.”

“with a bike I get home in 20 minutes, that's an hour and a half I save per day. I am not stressed because I enjoy riding, I get excited to wake up and ride a bike.”

IMPACT AT SCALE

IMPACT AT SCALE

In NYC, E-bikes save commuters an average of one hour each day

They complement the existing transport system, expanding options for all New Yorkers. They’re cost-competitive and have an even lower carbon footprint than transit.

IN NYC, INCREASING ACCESS TO E-BIKES WOULD DOUBLE BIKE TRIPS OVER NIGHT

Though the ECP will initially focus on serving communities in the Bronx and Brooklyn, our analysis shows that expanding access to e-bikes through incentives and financing could increase biking to more than one-million trips per day.
