    This document summarizes a research article that estimates the potential impact of electric bicycles (e-bikes) on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from passenger transportation in regions. The researchers adapted a mode replacement model using data from a survey of North American e-bike owners. Applying the model to Portland, OR, they estimated that with a 15% share of passenger miles traveled by e-bike, car trips could be reduced by 10% and carbon dioxide emissions from passenger transportation could be reduced by 12%, even accounting for e-bike electricity use and induced trips. On average, each e-bike could provide an annual reduction of 225 kg of carbon dioxide emissions. The estimates show that e-bikes have potential to help regions achieve climate

    Abstract: Electric bicycles (e-bikes) have been found to offer a promising solution
    to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact of a region’s passenger transportation
    system. Using data from a North American survey of e-bike owners, a mode
    replacement model was adapted and augmented to consider the case of Portland, OR
    for various levels of e-bike person miles traveled (PMT) mode share penetration. It
    was estimated that for a 15% e-bike PMT mode share, car trip mode share could be
    reduced from 84.7% to 74.8%. Total car PMT per day could be reduced from 28.9
    million to 25.5 million. Furthermore, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from passenger
    transportation could be reduced by 12% after accounting for e-bike emissions from
    electricity generation and induced e-bike trips. An individual e-bike could provide
    an average reduction of 225 kg CO2 per year. These estimates show that e-bikes have
    the potential to help cities and regions achieve their climate goals. Additionally,
    this research can be used to support policies and programs necessary to facilitate
    the growth of this emerging mode to realize carbon reduction impacts.
