Date of 2. Info day: 16 & 17 October 2015, Zadar
Project
report
The second PRO-E-BIKE project info day was organized in
collaboration with the City of Zadar, on 16 and 17 October 2015,
during the Energy efficiency week in Zadar. On the first day, the
project was presented in the city library. The presentations from
Ms. Bajlo from the City of Zadar and the project coordinator, Mr.
Perović, covered PRO-E-BIKE action plan for the city of Zadar and
presentation of pilot projects (home for adults, communal
inspectors, home care service, city waste management company)
in Zadar.
The second day, PRO-E-BIKE had an info stand at Energy
efficiency fair at the entrance in the old pedestrian core of the
city. The info stand was set in order to present to the citizens the
delivery of goods by e- bike and to present the action plan for
their city. The city waste management company Čistoća
presented their electric tricycle for waste collection.
Based on the experiences from the last info day, when people
were very reluctant to leave their personal information, this time
the questionnaires were anonymous. In total, 23 questionnaires
were filled. 60 % of respondents have heard about e-bikes for
delivery purposes, mostly on television. 83% of respondents
consider that there is not enough information about e- bikes for
delivery. Especially interesting is that 99% of respondents
consider that the usage of e-bikes should be strongly encouraged
in the companies that are in the city ownership. If they would
have a chance, 60% would test the e-bikes in their daily
businesses, while 40% would maybe test the e-bikes. The
respondents were also asked to identify the most significant
obstacle to wider e-bike usage in businesses. The lack of good
cycling infrastructure is seen as the highest obstacle, followed by
high price of electric bicycles. The technical aspects and
malfunctions were not rated as relevant. One of the respondents
also emphasized that there is not enough promotion.

4. What is the cost of a complete recharge for a common ebike?
5. How many kilos can a e-cargo bike carry?
6. What is the autonomy of a common e-bike?
The meeting gave to the project great visibility and it created
channels for an efficient spread of the Simulation-tool.
The e-vehicle exposition
The e-vehicles open-air exposition was set along Genova
promenade, nearby some of the major attractions of the City,
like the Acquarium and the Old Port.
30
It involved eight organizations, among producers and providers,
to give citizens the chance to have a look and test e-bikes, escooters and LEVs (Light Electric Vehicles).
The three vehicles in use within the pilot in Genova, for the Proe-bike project, were showed:
• the e-scooter used by TNT Global Express
• the e-cargobike used by Eco Bike Courier
• the e-cargobike used by Grafica KC
Especially the two e-cargobikes attracted the attention of

what were E-CargoBikes) from the perspectives of planning,
infrastructure and technology.
On the 18th of April, Mobycon held a workshop entitled ‘Ecargo-bikes as an opportunity for a sustainable business
and a clean urban environment’ aiming at sharing the lessons
from the PRO-E-BIKE Dutch pilots. Because of a great interest,
the workshop has been held 3 times and the outcomes of the
workshops have been quickly summarized during the last plenary.
On the 19th of April, Mobycon had a stand on behalf of PRO-EBIKE and handed out a variety of public leaflets and brochures
(that contained summary, PRO’s and CON’s of Dutch pilots).

A celebration of cargo bikes
On Sunday 19 April, Holland-Cycling.com visited the fourth
International Cargo Bike Festival in Nijmegen. This year the
festival didn't just focus on delivery bikes, but especially on
family cargo bikes, multi-person bikes and bikes for people
with a disability.
Sunday's programme started off with the Cargo Bike Parade
through the centre of Nijmegen to the festival grounds at the
Vasim. At the Cargo Bike Fair a wide variety of cargo bikes was
on display. You could also try them out yourself. The catering
and entertainment were of course all provided by cargo bikes.
Here is a photo impression.

In Nijmegen (NL) ging gestern das International Cargo
Bike Festival (ICBF) mit der großen Publikumsmesse zu
Ende.
Der Samstag war mit Fachvorträgen von verschiedenen
internationalen Rednern dem Fachpublikum vorbehalten. Diese
Vorträge hätten interessante Facetten rund um das Thema
Lastenfahrrad beleuchtet, waren sich alle Teilnehmer, mit
denen ich sprechen konnte, einig.
Lastenradparade
Am gestrigen Sonntag fand, nach der traditionellen LastenradParade durch Nijmegen, die Publikumsmesse bei herrlichem
Frühlingswetter statt. Bei lockeren und zwanglosen Gesprächen
konnte sich jeder Interessierte über die verschiedensten Arten
von Lastenrädern informieren. Die angebotenen Probefahrten
wurden rege und mit viel Spaß genutzt.

International Cargo Bike conference 2015
As a member of the European Cycle Logistics Federation we
had to return to Nijmegen in the Netherlands for the annual
conference and festival. A gathering of like minded individuals
and companies to network, look at new and old kit, working
practices and of course soak up the atmosphere of all that is
Dutch. Different every year, this year saw some very
interesting developments in the area of new cargo bikes, one
specifically designed to accept a roll on/roll off container, cargo
scooters, folder flat bed bike and some rather clever bespoke
cargo boxes and work add ons. There was lots of electric assist
bikes and at last a fully working electric assist trailer. Lots
learnt, fun had and a ton of ideas to process.

International Cargo Bike Festival 2015
Am vergangenen Wochenende fand in Nijmegen die vierte
Auflage des Internationalen Lastenradfestivals statt. Die
Wiedergeburt des Transportmittels Lastenfahrrad verlangt nach
einer Plattform, bei der sich die Akteure des Lastenrads
austauschen können. Und es scheint weltweit immer mehr
Hersteller, Designer, Selberbauer, Logistiker und Nutzer zu
geben, für das internationale Stelldichein der Lastenradfreunde
in Nijmegen ein Pflichtermin ist.
Das Festival startete am Sonnabend mit einer Konferenz. Einer
der Redner war Kevin J. Krizek von der Universität von Colorado,
der zum ersten niederländischen Fahrradprofessor an der
Radboud-Universität von Nijmegen berufen wurde. Viele weitere
Experten auf dem Gebiet der Fahrradlogistik kamen zu Wort und
stellten ihre Projekte vor.

Traditionellerweise
beginnt
der
Sonntag
mit
einer
Lastenradparade durch das Zentrum von Nijmegen. Selten
konnte man so ein buntes Angebot an Cargo Bikes auf engem
Raum sehen: zweirädrige, dreirädrige, vierrädrige, sechsrädrige
Nutzfahrzeuge, Kindertransporter mit bis zu sechs Kids an Bord,
Fahrradanhänger, die immer größer und voluminöser zu werden
scheinen. Hier ein kurzes Video der Parade, Lastenradporno pur.

Terugblik Bakfietstreffen 2015
18 en 19 april vond in Nijmegen het International
CargoBikeFestival/Bakfietstreffen plaats met op de eerste dag
een conferentie en op de tweede dag een publieksevenement,
het Bakfietstreffen, dat al voor de vierde keer werd gehouden.
Op de conferentie kwamen zo'n 100 mensen uit ongeveer 15
landen. Fietskoeriers, bakfietsenbouwers en nog veel meer. De
nieuwe gasthoogleraar fietsbeleid van de Radboud Universiteit,
Kevin Krizek, was aanwezig en gaf een lezing. Ook de Gelderse
Gedeputeerde voor mobiliteit, Conny Bieze, en de Nijmeegse
wethouder voor mobiliteit en duurzaamheid, Harriët Tiemens,
waren aanwezig en hebben gesproken.
Bij het Dutch Bicycle Centre bij de Honig waren tegelijkertijd ook
enkele fietsactiviteiten, zoals de fietsfilmnacht (ook met
Facebook-pagina) met allemaal korte films over/met fietsen.
De zondag begon eerst met een Bakfietsenparade vanaf het
centrum naar de Vasim. Vooraan de Bakfietsenparade reed de
nieuwe riksja voor Cycling Without Age Nijmegen. Een nieuw
initiatief om ouderen rond te fietsen door Nijmegen. Een
comfortabele riksja voor zowel de ouderen, als de fietser, dankzij
een electromotor. (Zin om mee te doen met dit nieuwe
initiatief?)

Other inspiring companies featuring during the Pro- E-bike workshop was
Almroths and Koop Service. As part of its environmental efforts Almroths, a
haulage company, started to offer goods shipment by cargo bike in central
Norrköping in 2014. The social enterprise Koop Service is using electric cargo
bikes mainly to run goods between their second-hand shops but is now
considering selling green transport services to other companies. Motala , one
of the pilot cities , also purchased 10 electric cargo bikes to their childcare
units. Staff from a participating unit talked about their experiences during the
Pro- E-bike seminar on E Week.
Info Day 2 was carried out during Motala Expo on March 13-14th. Motal Expo
is a yearly business expo in the city of Motala. This year 130 businesses
participated with an attendance of 6500 visitors. In the City Councils stand an

REPORT OF PRO-E-BIKE INFO DAYS IN SLOVENIA
Project partner: Development Agency Sinergija (SINERGIJA), Slovenia
Date of 1. Info day: 6th of September 2014
Project
report
The 1st info day was organized together with the
municipality day of the Municipality Moravske Toplice on
6th September 2014.
The aim of info day was to increase awareness about electric
mobility, with a special focus on urban and rural logistics with ebikes.
With an information booth and two e-bikes we made a rainy day
more interesting and encouraged the visitors to test e-bikes.
Most of them were excited and assumed the role of a deliverer.
We handed out folders and questionnaires and also presented
the purpose, goals and project activities to the visitors.
The visitors were the general public and the representative of
the company Pošta Slovenije explained their activity in more
detail to them.
Presenting e-bikes to the general public is one of the activities
with which we can objectively show the functioning of the ebike. E-bikes intended for delivery are special bikes, they are
heavier than common bikes and are made according to
individual measures of every company or activities of the
company. The participants also tried the test e-bike and were
impressed, because driving it can not be compared to driving a
common bike. Some participants tested the e-bike intended for
postal items deliveries which our postmen across Slovenia use.
In September the company Čista narava »employed« a new »coworker« that will help them with their daily work.
Lessons learnt: testing of the e-bikes intended for delivery was
interesting for the general public, because a similar e-bike does
not exist in our rural area.
56
In our rural area e-bikes represent a large financial burden, so
the use of e-bikes would increase if the price would be
reasonable and subsidies intended for their purchase.
Two of the project principles are creating understanding and
strengthening the trust in technology, and we also endeavour to
be a role model to our citizens as regards a new mobility variety
in towns and other smaller cities.

Project partner: Development Agency Sinergija (SINERGIJA), Slovenia
Date of 2nd Info day: 23rd of August 2015, Moravske Toplice
Project
report
Development agency Sinergija organized its 2nd INFO DAY
on Sunday, the 23rd of August 2015.
We joined the marathon as a project partner in the project named
PRO-E-BIKE (IEE- intelligent Energy of Europe) and we introduced
the benefits and advantages of using e -bikes and electric
scooters for the delivery of goods to all 74 participants of the
marathon.
The focus of the PRO-E BIKE project is on establishing e- bikes
as tools of business simulations for companies, which will help
evaluate the costs and benefits of the operation as a consequence
of introducing them.
The introduction of e-bikes to the wider public is one of the
activities, which actually shows and demonstrates benefits and
advantages of using of e- bikes for various purposes, in various
business activities. E- bikes made for transfer are bicycles of a
special kind. They are heavier than the regular ones and are
customized- adapted to the needs of individual companies or
activities, that the companies carry out.
The participants of the bicycle marathon were observing the test
electric bike with interest and they also had the oportunity to try
it out. They were enthusiastic about riding the e-bike and also
about the characteristics of the electric bike.
With the organization of the 2nd INFORMATIVE DAY as a part of
the
20th bicycle marathon in the municipality of Moravske
Toplice, which is amongst others also the pilot city of the project,
we managed to generate interest for electric bikes in general
amongst the participants of the bicycle marathon. By this, we
have contributed to raise awareness about the advantages and
the benefits of using the electric bikes in various companies. To
the interested participants of the bicycle marathon we have
presented and explained also the identified positive experiences
of the pilot companies in Slovenia which have used electric bikes
in their companies.
61
The key findings were that by using of electric bikes, involved
companies:
o have saved more money (less costs for fuel);
o helped to reduce harmful emissions in the air;
o helped to increase the recognition of their company in their
local environment.
By participating in the project of PRO-E-BIKE we would like to be
role models to companies and other individuals, which are
interested, that the usage of electric bikes is a current form of
sustainable mobility, which is suitable for businesses located in
urban and also in rural areas.

Project
report
The 2nd Info Day was developed during the European
Mobility Week, on the 22nd September 2015 near the Bus
Terminal of Torres Vedras. The place was decided in order to
be near park & ride areas and the parking spot of an electric
vehicle from another European project, REPUTE (Renewable Public
Transport Enterprise) which is an Atlantic Area funded project that
deals with the use of renewable energy in public transport.
Besides the normal distribution of leaflets and bags, there was an
exhibition of E-bikes and an E-scooter. Norauto, a company that
typical offers services for the maintenance of vehicles, which is
currently offering a range of E-bikes and e-scooters for sale, was
invited to exhibit these vehicles and people were able to test
them during the event.
From the first Info Day, 60 completed questionnaires were
collected while during the second Info Day, only 30 were
collected, as the exhibition and test drives of E-bikes called a lot
of attention to the public. The answers from both questionnaires
were compile together since separately it would not be
comparable. The following sections presents the questionnaires’
results.
