Using E-bikes for inspections
Smart, quiet, clean… and just a bit of fun – Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
Finding a car park can be difficult anytime, but when you have time constraints to complete your inspections, you can waste more time parking further away.
Environmental Health Officers are trialed the use of an E-bike to service the Maroochydore, Cotton Tree and Mooloolaba areas.
The trial was very successful and is now an imbedded process for servicing Maroochydore area. The E-bike fleet has been expanded to two bikes. E-bikes are used for inspections and the majority of customer requests in the area.
In addition to the benefit of finding a car park and not having to negotiate traffic, it’s a role model for desired travel smart behaviours, reducing car fleet demand, fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
A great initiative with multiple benefits that is highly visible to our community.
