        abstract = {This research investigates to what extent e-bikes are used as a means to fasten the transition towards sustainable mobility in the North of the Netherlands. he transport sector is polluting the environment heavily, in the North of the Netherlands, the e-bike has a lot of potentials to make the transport sector more sustainable. How e-bikes are used and whether they can change people?s behavior remains unrevealed in current literature. Mixed methods were used to find results. A paired sample t-test has been performed to find which modes of transport are replaced by e-bikes. After that interviews have been analysed, using atlas.ti to find out how e-bike use is being stimulated. The results show that e-bikes mainly replace ordinary bikes but also cars. Which can help in fastening the sustainable mobility transition. Local governments are trying to stimulate e-bike use to increase the replacement levels of e-bikes by cars.}
