Traffic infrastructure in many urban areas operate at their limits. Bike-sharing systems are not only viable and sustainable modes of transportation for urban environments, but also may contribute to less crowded public transportation while improving public health. It is assumed that the integration of e-bikes into conventional bike-sharing schemes makes them more attractive to a wider audience. For system operators as well as for urban planners it is of interest to understand the major usage differences between e-bikers and cyclists from a general point of view as well as for a specific origin-destination relation. This article reports on how the differences are analyzed based on GPS tracks and GIS analyses with data from a combined bike and e-bike sharing pilot project taking place in the city of Winterthur and from a field study conducted in Zürich.
