Cycling is an important part of the mobility transition. However, there is a lack of space for safe road usage whether on foot, by bike or in a car.

What would happen if we radically redistributed road space in our cities? The 'E-Bike City' project at ETH Zurich is investigating this question.

E-Bike City: A way to solve the climate problem? Ideological action? Transport policy?

The city is allowed to remove 16 white car parking spaces for a cycle path in Schwamendingen. The Administrative Court has rejected an appeal against this.

Radically remodelling the road network with the so-called "E-Bike City" lighthouse project. Will it be tight for cars?

ETH researchers are planning the future of transportation in Zurich. They want to allocate half of the roads to bicycles. This is how it could look like.

How does one travel to work? By car? Or even by e-bike? The e-bike is an option that could become more important in the future—especially in view of the climate crisis.

How do you get around town by car, public transport or e-bike? Who is switching to the bicycle highway? And what if 50 percent of traffic area in Zurich would belong to e-bikes and other slow modes one day? Listen to Professor Kay Axhausen and Clarissa Livingston's explanations in the report of SRF Einstein.

Kay Axhausen is the head of the E-Bike City research project. The radical idea behind it: What if half of all streets belonged to cyclists?

Do we simply need more space so that everyone can ride his/her bike? ETH surprises with a radical proposal. And criticism comes from an unexpected corner.

ETH is starting a visionary project for CO₂ neutral traffic in the city of Zurich. It focuses primarily on e-​bikes, bicycles and e-​scooters instead of cars.
