IShimano yenze ucwaningo lwayo lwesine olujulile mayelana nemibono yamazwe aseYurophu mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwamabhayisikili kagesi e-E-Bike, futhi yafunda ezinye izindlela ezithakazelisayo mayelana ne-E-Bike.

Lolu olunye lwezifundo ezijulile kakhulu mayelana nezimo zengqondo ze-E-Bike muva nje. Lolu cwaningo luhilele abantu abangaphezu kuka-15,500 abaphendulile abavela emazweni ayi-12 aseYurophu. Umbiko wangaphambilini uthintwe ubhubhane lomhlaba wonke lwe-crown entsha, futhi iziphetho zingase zibe nobandlululo, kodwa kulo mbiko, njengoba iYurophu iphuma ekuvalelweni, kuvela izinkinga ezintsha kanye nezimo zengqondo zangempela zabantu baseYurophu mayelana nama-e-bike.

1. Izindleko zokuhamba zibaluleke kakhulu kunezingozi zegciwane

Ngo-2021, ama-39% abantu abaphendulile bathi esinye sezizathu eziyinhloko zokusebenzisa ama-E-Bikes ukugwema ukusebenzisa izinto zokuhamba zomphakathi ngenxa yengozi yokuthola umqhele omusha. Ngo-2022, ama-18% kuphela abantu acabanga ukuthi lesi yisona sizathu esiyinhloko sokukhetha kwabo i-E-bike.

Kodwa-ke, abantu abaningi sebeqala ukukhathalela izindleko zokuphila kanye nezindleko zokuhamba. Abantu abangu-47% baqale ukukhetha ukusebenzisa i-E-Bike ngenxa yokwenyuka kwezindleko zikaphethiloli nezokuthutha zomphakathi; Abantu abangu-41% bathi uxhaso lwe-E-Bike luzonciphisa umthwalo wokuthenga okokuqala futhi lubashukumisele ukuthi bathenge i-E-Bike. Ngokuvamile, abantu abangu-56% abaphendulile bakholelwa ukuthi ukwenyuka kwezindleko zokuphila kuzoba esinye sezizathu zokugibela i-E-Bike.

2. Intsha ikhetha ukugibela amabhayisikili ukuze ivikele imvelo

Ngo-2022, abantu bazonaka kakhulu imvelo. EYurophu, ama-33% abantu abaphendulile bathi bagibele amabhayisikili ukuze banciphise umthelela wabo kwezemvelo. Emazweni athintekile ukushisa nesomiso, iphesenti liphezulu kakhulu (51% e-Italy kanye nama-46% eSpain). Ngaphambilini, intsha (18-24) yayikhathazeke kakhulu ngomthelela wayo emvelweni, kodwa kusukela ngo-2021 umehluko wesimo sengqondo phakathi kwentsha nabadala unciphile.

3. Izinkinga zengqalasizinda

Embikweni walo nyaka, amaphesenti angu-31 ayekholelwa ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda yokugibela amabhayisikili okuningi kunonyaka odlule cishe kuzokhuthaza abantu ukuthi bathenge noma basebenzise amabhayisikili kagesi.

4. Ubani ogibela i-E-Bike?

Abantu baseYurophu bakholelwa ukuthi i-E-Bike ilungiselelwe abantu abaqaphela imvelo, okubonisa ngezinga elithile ukuqonda kwabo indima ye-E-Bike ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto kanye nokuminyana kwezimoto. Lokhu futhi kubonisa ukuthi ukunciphisa umthelela wemvelo kubhekwa njengesikhuthazo sokusebenzisa ama-E-bikes. Le ngxenye yabaphenduli yayibalelwa ku-47%.

Futhi abagibeli abangu-53% bakholelwa ukuthi i-E-Bike iyindlela engcono kakhulu kunezokuthutha zomphakathi noma izimoto zangasese ngesikhathi se-rush.

5. Izinga lobunikazi bebhayisikili

Abangu-41% abaphendulile abanalo ibhayisikili, kanti amanye amazwe anezinga eliphansi kakhulu lokuba nabanikazi bamabhayisikili kunesilinganiso saseYurophu. E-UK, abantu abangu-63% abanalo ibhayisikili, eFrance kungu-51%. INetherlands inabanikazi bamabhayisikili abaningi, kanti abangu-13% kuphela bathi abanalo.

6. Ukunakekelwa kwamabhayisikili

Ngokuvamile, ama-E-Bikes adinga ukulungiswa okwengeziwe kunamabhayisikili endabuko. Ngenxa yesisindo sebhayisikili kanye ne-torque ephezulu ekhiqizwa yi-assist motor, amathayi kanye ne-drivetrain kuguga ngokushesha. Abanikazi bama-E-Bike bangafinyelela ulwazi ezitolo zamabhayisikili olungasiza ngezinkinga ezincane futhi banikeze izeluleko mayelana nokulungiswa nokugcinwa.

Ingxenye yesine yalabo ababuziwe ithe kungenzeka ukuthi bazolungisa amabhayisikili abo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezizayo, kanti ama-51% abanikazi bamabhayisikili bathi ukulungiswa kubalulekile ekugcineni amabhayisikili abo esesimweni esihle. Okukhathazayo ukuthi ama-12% abantu baya esitolo kuphela lapho ibhayisikili labo liphuka, kodwa into efanele ukuyenza ukuya esitolo kusenesikhathi noma njalo ukuze bagcine ibhayisikili lisesimweni esihle ukuze bagweme izindleko ezibizayo zesikhathi esizayo Imali yokulungisa.
