E-Bikes Provide Boost for German Market

Albert Herresthal, GM of the VSF emphasized the importance of electric bikes for the German economy at the Vivavelo Congress. “As the bicycle industry sold 300,000 e-bikes in 2011 alone; only 1,800 electric cars were registered. While the car industry is working on electric mobility; e-bikes have become a mainstream product already,” said Herresthal.
