<p>The Government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS), published in April
2017, encourages people to take up cycling, either on conventional bikes or electric
bikes. The Department recognises that electric bikes offer a wide range of potential
benefits, including to health and to the environment, and that they can make cycling
easier and more attractive. The Department has not undertaken any formal assessment
of the potential benefits of a greater uptake of electric bikes by those particular
groups, but the measures set out in the CWIS should lead to an overall increase in
the use of electric bikes, and the benefits associated with this.</p><p> </p>
