Comparison Study on Travel Characteristics between Two Kinds of Electric Bike

AbstractElectric two-wheeler is booming in China, and there are two kinds of electric two-wheelers. One is electric bike, another is over-standard electric bike. Nowadays, over-standard electric bikes that account for 60 percent of electric two-wheeler become the major part. However, they have caused a series of problems affecting the traffic efficiency and safety. In order to take effective and practicable measures to supervise over-standard electric bikes, it is necessary to research it. In this paper, RP survey is used to approach to travel characteristics of over-standard electric bikes. Conclusion shows that over-standard electric bicycles have strong competitiveness with public transport and bicycle. The users prefer to a longer travel distance commuter trip. If over-standard electric bikes will be unavailable, users may travel by motorized traffic
