Changes in E-bike Awareness and Consideration for Commute

Abstract

This paper examines changes in e-bike awareness and consideration among commuters to the University of California, Davis campus using data from an annual travel survey. The analysis shows that awareness of e-bikes increased among commuters while consideration declined between 2019 and 2021. Awareness significantly increased among staff and undergraduate students and also increased among those who feel safe biking to campus. Consideration declined significantly among undergraduate students and commuters who bike to campus or use other modes.
