What makes the eBike into a sustainable means of transport?

The bicycle is one of the most sustainable means of transport there is. Because of the very low utilisation of material and vehicle weight, it enables flexible, emission-free, quiet and climate-friendly mobility. What's more, regular cycling is also good for your health. 

The eBike is the next evolutionary step in cycling. It permits longer trips, further distances and overcoming greater differences in altitude. Overall, eBikes significantly expand the possibilities of use without significantly altering any characteristics, or CO2 emissions in the production, of the eBike compared to the bicycle. This is the case even though more energy is required for the battery and drive system than for the bicycle, especially in production. But eBikers increasingly use their electric bikes in everyday life, often as an alternative to cars and other means of transport. Furthermore, eBikers use their eBikes two to three times more often and travel significantly longer distances. In addition, the required energy consumption is very low, averaging around 7 Wh of electricity per kilometre travelled.
