Electric bicycle evokes happy childhood and reduces social cost.
Monte Paulson is a building energy consultant in Vancouver. He used to be a "good weather cyclist", that is, he rode twice a month when the weather allowed, but drove to work five days a week. During the epidemic, he bought an electric bicycle, and now 90% of his trips are by bike.
I started as a personal experiment to see how I could reduce my carbon footprint, but at last I fell in love with cycling because it was very interesting. "Paulson said.
For many people, e-bikes can often arouse a sense of happiness, excitement and freedom in childhood, which is also in line with the current concept of green travel and environmental protection that everyone from the individual to the government admires.
Tell Richard Red Star News reporter that this is a very interesting phenomenon. The COVID-19 epidemic has changed people's thinking, paying more attention to their own health and the health of the earth. To some extent, the epidemic has made people feel how fragile the world is. Therefore, "We should take good care of the earth as we take good care of ourselves, which also leads to a change in people's attitude towards the occurrence of cars that cause environmental pollution, thus accelerating the recognition of electric vehicles."
Richard pointed out that the government needs to do two things. The first is to build bicycle-friendly infrastructure, which may take ten years and persist for a long time. Electric bikes are expensive, ranging from less than 1,000 dollars to nearly 10,000 dollars.
At present, the British government is already providing financial support for places that expand bicycle lanes, and providing tax incentives for electric bicycles. The government's latest social policy bill of the United States allocates 4.1 billion US dollars in tax incentives, which will cover 30% of the cost for people who buy electric bicycles, which can be as high as 900 US dollars.
When people use electric bicycles more, it will promote the demand for roads and vehicles, and form a benign development.
