Description

A living lab focused on the Overvecht district (a post-WWII area with ~35,000 residents) to address low bike ownership and safety concerns. Interventions include subsidizing shared e-cargo bikes, providing 50% discounts on shared e-bikes in social housing neighborhoods, and developing solar charging station prototypes.

Focus

Exploring the role of shared e-bikes and shared e-cargo bikes in promoting accessible and sustainable mobility in urban outskirts and low-income areas.
