E-bike

Project “E-bike Net” addressed the issue of sustainable individual transport mobility. The current structure of the transport infrastructure in the cross-border area was very centralized, connecting smaller towns with the center, thus neglecting the connections between the smaller towns themselves, especially the towns along the Danube and between the 2 countries. Furthermore, public transport could never had the flexibility to provide in the district towns the means of transport for the wanted destination at any moment and without changing different vehicles. We created and promoted a network of electric bicycles, which people used to move freely in the whole cross-border area of Bulgaria and Romania using the current road network or some dirt roads and to be able to charge the bicycles in a range of up to 70 kilometers throughout the CBC area. The budget for our operation was 768 392,92 euro. Project activities was: study for e-bike network; preparation and creation of the network though purchase and placement of e-bikes and charging stations in the whole CBC area; trained operators for e-bike maintenance and small repairs; promotional campaign; information and publicity campaign, organization of promotional events; participation at tourism fairs; project management. The main result of the project was created and well-promoted, recognizable network of e-bicycles in 32 towns in the CBC area.
