From Bike Europe: United Nations Reaches Out to the Bike Industry

Munich, Germany – The United Nations and ICLEI, an organisation that represents the 500 biggest cities in the world, are inviting the bike industry to take part in the Global Alliance for EcoMobility. Goal of that organisation is to join forces in favour of environmentally sound means of transport such as cycling and walking to reduce the citizen’s dependency on the car.

Power-assisted bicycles are becoming an increasingly popular way for people to meet their transport needs around the world. Technological progress has resulted in significant changes in the design, quality and performance of power-assisted bicycles.

Additionally  New Zealand, Europe, Canada and the USA allow higher power output than Australia, resulting in significant technological innovation in products for these markets, making power assisted bicycles a popular, practical, cheap and low emission form of transport.
