Hey Google,
Everywhere in the world people are using bikes increasingly often. To get to work. Or for day trips. We are in the middle of a bike revolution, and that is good for our health as well as for the planet.
Hey Google, would you like to help us?
An electric bike is faster
Help us speed it up
Google can speed this up further. By doing just one thing. Google Maps route planner uses an average cycling speed of 16 km/h in its calculations. An electric bike is quite a bit faster. And a speed pedelec is almost three times as fast.
That is some difference! The difference between living in the city or finally moving to the countryside. The difference between daily exercise and a sedentary lifestyle.
E-Bike in Google Maps
Time for an update
