Does power assist make cycling more attractive for you?

The aim of the anonymous survey is to define the requirements of users especially the ageing society and non-users for PEDELECs - pedal controlled electric bicycles.
Do you appreciate when products meet your expectations? Certainly! Please answer our questions and contribute to a PEDELEC specification fitting your needs. After answering each question a quick tip related to cycling is displayed. Your votes are only counted once.

  • After answering one question the cycling tips and your answer are displayed in a separate window or tab, this might not pop up if your browser is configured to suppress it. But anyhow your answer is stored.
  • Please choose the most appropriate answer for each question, since only one answer is allowed.
