In this episode, host Servaz van Berkum continues his conversation with Townmaking engineer Paul Timmer. They explore the growing use of e-bikes and the important issue of safety. Are e-bikes, as they are today, fundamentally unsafe? How do they influence urban planning and the way we commute? Most importantly, how can we address the safety concerns they raise?
Paul suggests that certifying motor systems could improve safety standards without requiring every new e-bike model to undergo individual testing.

This podcast was produced and curated by Paul Timmer, Indranil Bhattacharya , OmarZuberi, Bono Siebelink, and Servaz van Berkum. Music was by Mickey Smid.
