With traditional public mass transportation changing and more mobility alternatives arising, University of Johannesburg researcher and lecturer Mpho Gololo has suggested electric bicycles, or e-bikes, as a viable solution for certain use cases. In a paper presented at the Southern African Transport Conference, on July 10, he said there was a great need to lower the carbon footprint of transportation in the country, which may be achieved by combining multiple modes of mobility and the electrification of transport.
