Abstract

Current trends in energy consumption for mobility in different countries around the world require varied approaches and solutions. Regardless of size or level of economic development, every nation faces increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption in mobility without compromising welfare, social and economic progress. The purpose is to deepen the understanding of the impact and potential of electric bicycles as an alternative means of transportation, with a specific focus on sustainable mobility. The methodology follows the guidelines of the PRISMA statement to conduct a systematic review. The results reveal the connection between mobility challenges in urban environments, urban growth and the development of suburban settlements, generating a significant increase in commuting and contributing to problems such as congestion. Discussions highlight the inadequacy of many initiatives to address the deep transformation needed. The conclusions suggest that the promotion of alternatives such as electric bicycles play a crucial role in building sustainable cities, improving the quality of urban life and addressing the challenges
