Keynote: e-bike-city: An answer to our transport dead-end?
summary
Argues that reallocating 50% of road space to cycles and micromobility can preserve accessibility while cutting transport emissions, backed by mode choice and elasticity estimates, macroscopic fundamental diagram network capacity analysis, and 300,000 person‑days of GPS from an e‑bike study. Finds e‑bikes match car speeds in urban trips, public transport costs are roughly twice driving without season tickets, and automated taxis barely undercut private car costs; ongoing LCA and CO2 scenarios test whether the e‑bike city meets IPCC targets.
