Pro-E-bike project
E-bikes, the new generation of clean and energy efficient vehicles, combine technology innovation with a realistic solution for everyday sustainable transport.
Find here the final report of the project
The Pro E-Bike project promotes E-bikes – a term that includes electric bicycles and electric scooters- for delivery of goods and passenger transport among private and public bodies as an attractive alternative to “conventionally fossil fueled” vehicles. A few examples among many others of E-bike usage, include delivery companies, public administration and urban citizens. The ultimate aim of the project is to prompt a decision by policy makers, businesses and individual citizens to replace their conventionally fueled vehicles with E-bikes.

Running from 2013 until 2016, Pro E-bike is supported by the European Union’s “Intelligent Energy” initiative which is providing approximately €1 million of the project’s €1.3 million budget.
The project’s actions are directed towards E-bike market uptake and promotion of policies that stimulate the use of E-bikes in urban transport.
PRO-E-BIKE brings e-scooter pilots to Lisbon & Oporto
October 2015
A partnership between ALD Automotive Portugal and ISS Facility Services has joined PRO-E-BIKE project as pilot. ALD, which is one of the leading European operational leasing companies, challenged one of their clients, ISS Facility Services to use an e-scooter. ISS is a leader in delivery services in several countries and since April has been using the e-scooter for the internal delivery of mail in the Lisbon area.
Elsewhere in Lisbon, the delivery company Moço de Recados and a retailer Zevtech joined a Portuguese initiative to advance the utilization of electric bikes and scooters in collaboration with the PRO-E-BIKE project. This new pilot will run for 3 months testing an e-scooter for daily delivery of packages. This collaboration has been successful and the restaurant managers are satisfied with the results obtained so far. The service started few weeks ago but seems so promising that the restaurant plans to maintain the service when the pilot period finishes.
