1. Cycling for Sustainable Cities
2021 by Ralph Buehler, John Pucher
Discover the path to transforming city cycling into the ultimate sustainable urban transportation choice, ensuring safety, practicality, and convenience for every rider. Cycling stands out as the most eco-friendly mode of urban travel, perfectly suited for short- and medium-distance journeys encompassing commutes, errands, social visits, and healthcare appointments. It not only enhances personal health but also reduces emissions, easing the burden on our environment while remaining budget-friendly for both individuals and public resources. Cycling, with its myriad advantages, should be accessible to all, regardless of fitness levels, attire, or courage. "Cycling for Sustainable Cities" offers a roadmap to creating an urban cycling environment that is inclusive, secure, and user-friendly for everyone, unlocking the full potential of this sustainable transportation mode.

2. Electric Motorcycles and Bicycles: A History Including Scooters, Tricycles, Segways and Monocycles
2018 by Kevin Desmond
Commencing in 1881, isolated prototypes of electric tricycles and bicycles received patents and occasional testing. Limited production runs emerged in the 1940s, yet it wasn't until the advent of the lithium-ion battery in the early 21st century that urban pedelecs and high-speed open-road motorcycles, some clocking speeds exceeding 200 mph, became feasible and gained widespread popularity. Presently, the continuously expanding array of single-wheel, two-wheel, and three-wheel light electric vehicles numbers in the hundreds of millions. In the third installment of his series on the history of electric transportation, the author delves into the journeys of pioneering engineers responsible for the development of these electric wheeled vehicles, encompassing scooters, tricycles, Segways, monocycles, and more.

3. Urban Mobility in Modern China: The Growth of the E-bike
2018 by Dennis Zuev
"Urban Mobility in Modern China: The Growth of the E-bike" presents a meticulously researched case study examining the electric two-wheeler (e-bike), currently the most popular alternative-fuel vehicle in the history of motorization. This book offers a sociological perspective on e-bike mobility within China, exploring the intricate interplay of politics, social behaviors, and broader issues associated with the transition in urban mobility within the country. Written in an approachable manner, it sheds light on key sociospatial conflicts related to e-bike usage and elucidates the significance of electric two-wheeler mobility for the future of urban China and global urban transportation. While urban geographers and transportation researchers will find this book invaluable, it also appeals to academics and general readers with an interest in Chinese Studies, particularly in the realm of urban mobility within China.

4. Electric Bicycles: A Guide to Design and Use
2006 by William C. Morchin, Henry Oman
"Electric Bicycles: A Guide to Design and Use" offers a comprehensive resource for individuals interested in constructing battery-powered electric bicycles. In a world where bicycles serve as a vital mode of transportation, electric bicycles stand out as a remarkably energy-efficient option, surpassing even traditional pedal bikes. This book explores the growing trend of electric bicycles, highlighting their eco-friendly nature and ease of assembly by end-users using readily available components. It provides valuable insights, data, and real-world examples to help readers assess different propulsion setups, whether for DIY or factory-made bikes, enabling them to estimate speed and travel distances accurately. Through informative charts, the book transparently presents the costs, benefits, and trade-offs between commercial and user-converted models. Key topics covered include motor performance calculations for varying conditions, battery capacity estimation, motor control options, propulsion component placement, system configurations, and performance evaluation. Furthermore, the book delves into the application of systems engineering techniques for designing electric bicycles with extended travel range and cost efficiency, along with a focus on testing and future developments in this exciting alternative energy technology. "Electric Bicycles" is an indispensable guide for harnessing innovation and fully embracing this sustainable transportation solution.
