Vélovolt

Our daily commutes increase our environmental footprint, so how can we make them less harmful to our environment while improving our health, our wallets and our surroundings? Rethinking our mobility is essential. We need to encourage alternative forms of transport rather than the solo car by giving priority to active and public transport.

Electric assisted bikes (EABs) have been gaining popularity in recent years. Vélovolt wants to show how the EAB is an effective mobility solution that fits perfectly into Quebecers' cocktail transport.

With the Vélovolt campaign, Équiterre wants to understand how the electric bike can replace the solo car in people's everyday commutes and encourage the implementation of environments favourable to its use.

Every year, Vélovolt offers long-term trials of electric bikes and awareness-raising activities in a number of organisations in Quebec in order to make employers and their employees more aware of this new mode of transport. These trials also provide an opportunity to collect data that will help us to understand the motivations and obstacles to the development of the use of electric bikes.
