Sharing Cities’ Smart City Solutions – Webinar Series: E-bikes

Since 2016, the lighthouse cities of Lisbon, London and Milan have implemented several smart city measures in the framework of the project Sharing Cities. Based on that knowledge and technical experience, Sharing Cities is launching a series of short webinars to explore each of those measures one by one: digital social market, e-bikes, building retrofit, sustainable energy management system, smart lampposts, e-mobility, and urban sharing platform. Each measure is also supported by a smart booklet and playbook which go into greater detail on how to replicate and scale-up in your city.

Starting in June, each of these webinars will present the implementation of one smart city solution through two case studies from lighthouse cities. After the presentations, all participants are invited to join the discussion, ask questions and share their experiences.

The second webinar of this series tackles e-bikes. So, what are e-bikes?

Take a bicycle, add an electric motor, and voilà, you have an electric bike, or ‘e-bike.’ You can add it to a standard bike sharing system, or offer it for long-term rental. Congestion, collisions, air quality, and parking are problems that harm the quality of life in our cities. With electric bikes, cities can reinvent their mobility model, tackling these problems and promoting healthy lifestyles. E-bikes provide clear social, environmental and economic benefits to communities. And residents, visitors and tourists love them!
