But
what
is
this
potential?
Who uses
pedelecs?What do they
use them for?How
often do they use them
?
Where
do
they
use
them

these
are not the

3. Traffic safety
19Slide20
Things to think
about
Age: 75-84
have
3X
higher risk of being seriously
injured in SwedenSpeed cycled
(perceived safety)Acceleration profile
Where travelled: open up new routes
20Slide21
Other safety
risks
today?
Problems with
bicycle
(e.g. brakes not working) 1
out of 10 single
accidents could be elimated if bicycles
were in proper working orderMore varied used of
cycle infrastructure: safety risks?
21Slide22
Findings about
road
safety aspects
S-pedelecs
have
definite increased riskNo significant
risk for pedelec useHigher
speeds unexpectedCan be difficult when first
use pedelecProblems of perceived safety
22Slide23
4. Some
thoughts
23Slide24
Conclusions
Growth
potential pedelecs in Sweden
Open up
new markets
No
large safety risks of pedelecs, but
…Need to pay
attention to differences between pedelecs and other bikes
