A review of studies has shown the feasibility of increasing the use of bicycles as an alternative vehicle. The expediency is associated, first of all, with the environmental safety of bicycles. The authors have developed the concept of using electric bicycles in the bicycle sharing system in the city of Pavlodar. Based on the analysis of passenger traffic, points for placing bicycle stations have been determined, the number of bicycles on each has been determined. The article describes a model of an electric cargo bike with the possibility of recharging the battery from solar panels, which was developed and tested by the authors. The authors concluded that by expanding the scope of use of bicycles, it is possible to increase their attractiveness as a vehicle. If it is possible to transport goods, the availability of an electric drive, the possibility of using by the disabled, the availability of benefits for use, the role of cycling can be increased by 20 %.
