(sammanfattning) Kristiansand : Universitetet i Agder, 2025 Sammanfattning: Regular physical activity is essential for good health. However, in Norway, one in four adults falls short of meeting minimum activity recommendations, and only 30 per cent reach the levels necessary to offset the risks associated with prolonged sitting. To promote healthier, climate-friendly transport, Norway aims for bicycles to account for 8% of all trips nationwide and 20% in major urban areas. Currently, with cycling making up just 5% of all trips, there is a clear need for initiatives to increase cycling rates. Therefore, the overarching aim of this dissertation has been to assess the potential of subsidising e-bikes as an effective environmental and public health strategy. Through real-world experiments, it explores how financial initiatives for e-bikes affect the environment through changes in mode share and public health through shifts in physical activity.
