自行车的性能取决于骑手的身体能力和骑手愿意提供到达目的地所需的所有能量。通过电动自行车或E-bike向骑手提供动力辅助，有可能扩大自行车在城市交通中的作用。由于电动自行车在美国处于早期采用阶段，其在城市交通系统中的渗透有限，因此需要创新方法来加强对这种模式的理解。越来越多的人认识到定性研究技术在交通研究领域，特别是旅行行为研究中的作用。虽然焦点小组和人种学访谈在交通研究中得到了应用，但更广泛形式的定性研究，特别是媒体分析，应用较少。正在探索社会计算影响和反映社会的方式的学术研究人员被称为“博客家”。在本文中提交的博客文章的分析，以响应两个在线文章的电动自行车是用来提供洞察使用这种模式和潜在的问题，交通行业的关注。考虑用户体验和出行行为的影响;非用户态度;混合交通中的道路空间分配;安全;环境影响;术语，沟通和缺乏理解。
The performance of the bicycle, is dependent on the physical ability of the rider and the rider’s willingness to provide all the energy needed to reach their destination. The provision of power assistance to the rider, delivered by electric bicycle or E-bike, has the potential to expand the role of the bicycle in urban transport. Since E-bikes are very much in the early adoption stage in the USA, their limited penetration into the urban transportation system calls for innovative approaches to enhance understanding of this mode. There is a growing recognition of the role that qualitative research techniques can play in the field of transportation research in general and travel behavior research in particular. While focus groups and ethnographic interviews are have seen application in transportation research broader forms of qualitative research, particularly media analysis, have seen less application. Academic researchers who are exploring the ways in which social computing affects and reflects society at large have been characterized as ‘blogologists’. In this paper an analysis of blog entries submitted in response to two on-line articles about E-bikes is used to provide insight into the use of this mode and issues of potential concern to the transportation profession. Consideration is given to user experiences and travel behavior impacts; non-user attitudes; road space allocation in mixed traffic; safety; environmental impacts; terminology, communication and lack of understanding.
