E-(Cargo) Bikes: Finance and Access Workshop

ELEVATE’s work to date has included local and national surveys, and a series of e-cargo bike trials in the cities of Brighton, Leeds and Oxford. A recurring theme from our investigations, and many other studies, is that people would choose to cycle but costs are a key barrier to e-cycle ownership and use. Thus, our first ELEVATE stakeholder workshop focused on E-(Cargo) Bikes: Finance and Access. This workshop featured presentations from key stakeholders on current evidence and existing themes. The presentations are available to download here: Presentation Pack; and you can watch the video of the presentations, below. We also have a summary document of the workshop available below.
