In this White Paper, we examine the scope of the e-bike ban problem, the current responses (and their gaps), and how CREDZ’s Building Access Module can facilitate a more informed approach – one that prioritises public safety and preserves the benefits of electric cycling. We also propose policy measures to institutionalise such solutions for the benefit of all stakeholders: cyclists, building operators, insurers, and regulators.

If we get this right, we will not only prevent fires and save lives but also preserve the momentum of the cycling revolution. With digital product fingerprints ensuring compliance, e-bikes can be welcomed into our buildings and cities as the low-carbon asset they are, safely and confidently, with all stakeholders’ interests protected.
