Speed pedelecs are emerging as a viable and sustainable alternative to traditional automobiles. However, the factors influencing their adoption and use remain largely unexplored.

This presents a challenge for policymakers aiming to develop effective strategies in promoting this transportation model.

Research initiative by UHasselt

To address this issue, Emiel Cosemans, a student of Mobility Sciences at UHasselt, is conducting a study as part of his bachelor thesis. His research focuses on identifying key factors that influence speed pedelec usage in Belgian and Dutch Limburg.

Importance of public participation

The study welcomes input from both speed pedelec users and non-users, as their perspectives provide valuable insights into the broader mobility landscape. By participating in this survey, individuals can contribute to a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with speed pedelec adoption.

How to participate

The survey, which takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, seeks to gather data that will help policymakers make informed decisions regarding the integration of speed pedelecs into urban transportation networks. Participants’ contributions will play a crucial role in shaping future mobility policies and infrastructure improvements.

For those interested in taking part, the survey is available online. By sharing their experiences and views, participants can support efforts to enhance sustainable mobility solutions.
