“…Thus, application scenarios of bicycles are extended to light cargo duties. The assisted propulsion also enables the usage of bicycles on more demanding routes and makes them more attractive for people who are worried about their physical constitution [60]. Different transport modes can also be combined within a single journey, which is called intermodal transport [61].…”

The decarbonization of the energy system will bring substantial changes, from supranational regions to residential sites. This review investigates sustainable energy supply, applying a multi-sectoral approach from a residential site perspective, especially with focus on identifying crucial, plausible factors and their influence on the operation of the system. The traditionally separated mobility, heat, and electricity sectors are examined in more detail with regard to their decarbonization approaches. For every sector, available technologies, demand, and future perspectives are described. Furthermore, the benefits of cross-sectoral integration and technology coupling are examined, besides challenges to the electricity grid due to upcoming technologies, such as electric vehicles and heat pumps. Measures such as transport mode shift and improving building insulation can reduce the demand in their respective sector, although their impact remains uncertain. Moreover, flexibility measures such as Power to X or vehicle to grid couple the electricity sector to other sectors such as the mobility and heat sectors. Based on these findings, a morphological analysis is conducted. A morphological box is presented to summarize the major characteristics of the future residential energy system and investigate mutually incompatible pairs of factors. Lastly, the scenario space is further analyzed in terms of annual energy demand for a district.

“…The term reflects the equality of cycling among other mobility as a service initiatives but also recognizes that cycle mobility has a number of distinct features given its specific engagement as active mobility. What is important (even in e-cycling) is human energy has at least part of the motive power (Behrendt 2018). CaaS initiatives, especially from the perspective of partnerships encompass multiple possibilities, and it is pertinent to examine specific operations for their distinctiveness: especially in terms of their levels of partnership between service provider, location, and context (including governance and physical infrastructures), and, centrally, consideration of different schemes initiation and implementation.…”

Cycle transport partnerships are multistakeholder initiatives designed to support the growth of cycling as part of a contribution to sustainable transport futures in line with the sustainable development goals. While transport and mobility issues are not a goal in themselves, accessible and affordable transport is an important contributor to a range of individual goals as noted in the text. The range of stakeholders involved in developing cycle transport depends on type of initiative, but all work within a broader focus on sustainable transport. Transport cycling includes the use of electrically assisted cycles (e-cycling), transport of people and goods by cycle, and public-use cycles. It should also be noted that in maximizing efficiency for sustainable mobility that cycling may not always involve traditional bicycle designs, but for the carriage for good and for intermodal use, numerous design possibilities may be appropriate (Cox 2015). Significant shifts in modal share within the transport sector require more than individual-level behavioral change (Banister 2005; Horton and Parkin 2012). While the bulk of recent research on transport cycling is focused on urban mobility, this is a reflection of the largely urban location of the studies in industrialized nations; the potential scope of cycle transport extends beyond the urban (Cox 2010).

“…Regarding barriers towards the uptake of pedelecs for commuting, [33] states high purchase price, social stigma, and battery range. More barriers of technologic, social, and environmental kinds are weight of the pedelec, battery life, safety, and limitations of cycling infrastructure [24,32,34,35].…”

Speed pedelecs, electric bicycles that can provide pedal assistance up to 45 km/h, have seen rapid uptake over the past ten years in Flanders, Belgium, yet perceptions around motivators and barriers have not been studied and understood in detail. This paper reports on the qualitative experiences of 100 participants from 10 Flemish companies who replaced their commuting vehicle by a speed pedelec for up to three weeks. Focus groups provided data in the identification of the motivators and the barriers towards speed pedelecs in comparison to those for bicycles and pedelecs classified in nine categories. The results from the focus groups show notable differences in motivators for using speed pedelecs compared to bicycles and pedelecs—the higher available speed and range within a given timeframe, which provides the possibility of better time management. The mental benefits and the competitive aspect of commuting with a speed pedelec were identified as new motivators. The purchase cost and the perception of safety as barriers remain, with reliability, flexibility, and planning identified as new barriers.
