CAN members express strong interest in eBikes
eBikes (also known as Pedelecs) are bicycles with an electric motor to assist pedalling. A survey of CAN members found that over half the respondents (52%) had considered buying an eBike, and 14% owned an eBike.
A frequent reason for buying an eBike included the need to ride up hills but also a desire to ride faster, have more power to carry loads, and to overcome issues from health or disability.
Many members commented that eBikes were a way to attract new cyclists, and provide an alternative to using cars.
