Mr. Ford should take note. Cities that invest in safety and emissions reduction are seeing real results—cleaner air, safer streets, and healthier residents.
E-bikes are one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to cut urban carbon emissions, reduce traffic, and improve public health. But their impact depends on infrastructure. Without protected lanes, charging access, and serious investment, e-bike sustainability remains limited in car-centric cities.
The evidence is clear. In British Columbia, an e-bike rebate program increased cycling by 25 miles per week while reducing car use. Each e-bike replacing a car prevents about 225 kg of CO₂ annually. Studies from Portland, Copenhagen, and New York City show protected lanes cut injuries and collisions—making streets safer for everyone.
