So many people have taken notice of bicycle’s effectiveness due to the COVID-19 outbreak.We conduct to avoid the confined situation by bicycle commuting, and we ,that are bicycle enthusiasts working from home, could ride their bicycle with cyclists of the world in a virtual community.
While there has been some restricted economic action, many companies would state their annual performance soon.As you know, Toyota has about 10M car units sales annually in the world.Amount of world car sales are 90M units.That would be decreasing this year...
And then,do you know how many units of bicycle have been sold in a year?
The answer is roughly 100M units yearly.This market has been slightly increasing than vehicle’s.There are the hundred-folds difference compared with average sale’s price,but units are almost the same.
The bicycle that mobility has been ridden by so many people of the world will be the solution to society issues continuously, won’t it? I consider the hint is ENERGY.
The Impact of 100M units per year
The sales units are roughly 100M in bicycles, 90M in vehicles and 60M in motorcycles.The predictions at last year for 2025 were 150M,100M and 75M.You know 2wheels demands will be more remarkable.
The trends of electricity have been so strong as each mobility. EV’s share of vehicles will be 20% in a decade.E-bike’s share of bicycles is about 20% to 30 % so far, and there are some predictions it will be 40% to 50% in ten years.
Demands of two-wheels will be grown as population increases in Asia.And electrification will be contributed with them.
For instance, the population of phillipin are 100M and average age is 24 years old at the moment.That is considered the population will be 50M in addition within the next 30 years.They are so interested in environment crisis due to young era. There are no serving bags and straws made of plastics at the cafe and others(I heard that from my acquaintance).It is no doubt that the consideration of the environment will influence the judgements of consumption significantly.
90% energy efficiency
Bicycles are most efficient for mobilities due to It being considered that the energy efficiency of bicycles is 90%.We exchange our energy accumulated in the body,such as glycogen and body fat!, to physical energy productively.
It is a fact that e-bikes have grown rapidly in the bicycle market.Energy efficiency of electric motors has 80% also.In any case, bicycle performance is so nice among any mobilities as is.
Energy efficiency of gasoline vehicles are roughly 30% at present time.It is no doubt big wave has come for Electric Vehicles(EV) from now on in decades.Coral electric generation has 80% share most biggest of all the world at present.But natural electric generation in Sweden has already about 50% share.It will be possible that efficiency EVs moved by natural energy in near future.
And any mobilities will be ahead to no negative effect of the environment as airplanes begin to operate by carbon offset energy such as euglena,corn,soy and so on.
Bicycle good for environment and well-being be choiced
There will be no advantages between bicycles and vehicles, especially the environment causes.Then it is most important issue for Aoiro to research anything that needs expanding bicycle effect for environment and well-being.
What are the essentials for that? I consider the answer is ENERGY.
For examples,
Bicycles have a generator operated by type of energy harvest such as generated by CO2
We manage our embodied energy such as glycogen and body fat.
We manage our inside activities of human body to get driving force for bicycle easily.
We would be able to create a future that affect more positive for the environment and well-being to meet the growing demands of bicycles.I have standed the entrance of Research and Development imaging ideals with aboves.
Next I will show the history of bicycles.
