These features make e-bikes particularly appealing to women, driving a significant increase in their participation in active transport.
Bicycle Network CEO Alison McCormack highlights the transformative impact of e-bikes:
“E-bikes have arrived as a powerful enabler and are rapidly unlocking a new population of active transport users. Every day around Australia, thousands of women are choosing e-bikes for transport, better health, their wallets, and the environment.”
With the growing e-bike market, costs are improving, and new financial incentives are emerging. Tasmania and Adelaide have implemented e-bike rebate programs, and Bicycle Network is pushing for more government support to make e-bikes affordable for all.
“The time is now for more people to ditch their second vehicles for e-bikes, which are proving very capable replacements for cars,” McCormack added.
E-bikes are not just a trend; they are a movement towards a healthier, greener, and more inclusive mode of transport. Join us in embracing this change and discover the benefits of e-bikes for yourself!
At TAV, we are driven by a bold and transformative mission – to redefine the electric vehicles industry by building cutting-edge powertrain technologies for electric bikes.
