The fleets of powered and non-powered two-wheelers are growing in many parts of the developed and developing worlds. Cycling has been widely accepted and promoted as a sustainable mode of transport due to its substantial environmental, health, and economic benefits. E-bikes, which address the limitations about the speed and range of cycling, have the potential to be an important component of sustainable multimodal transport systems. These potentials can be enhanced with the sharing economy, such as shared bike, shared e-bike, and shared e-scooter systems. E-motorcycles have also emerged as a more sustainable means of travel compared to gas-powered motorcycles, particularly in many developing countries where powered two-wheelers represent a major component of the traffic. Thus, policies for encouraging usage of sustainable two-wheelers, discouraging usage of less sustainable two-wheelers such as gas-powered motorcycles, and improving the safety of vulnerable riders of two-wheelers are essential towards making multimodal transport systems more sustainable. To this end, policies and business models for improving the adoption of e-motorcycles and systems for shared bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters are also of importance. This Special Issue is focused on recent advancements that aim to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability of two-wheel transport and mobility. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Electric two-wheelers; Shared mobility with a focus on two-wheelers; Ride hailing with a focus on two-wheelers; Environmental and health effects of two-wheelers; Behaviour and safety of two-wheel users; Policies to promote sustainable two-wheel transport and mobility; Travel behaviour with a focus on two-wheel users; Interactions between connected and automated vehicles (CAV) and two wheelers; Motorcycle simulator studies; Two-wheel traffic flow modelling and analysis; Priority measures for two-wheelers.
Keywords: Shared mobility; Electrification; Two-wheelers; Motorcycles; Transport policy; Travel behaviour; Data analytics; Road safety.
