Abstract
What types of bicycle do the bike to work participants have? To what other means of transportation do they have access? The mobility portfolio or equipment of the bike to work participants is discussed in two stages, looking first at which type of bicycle they have and then at their access to or ownership of motorised vehicles and public transport passes. This section enables us to clarify the results of the previous chapter, in particular with regards to combining cycling and other modes of transport.

A clear majority (67.2%) of the e-bikers also own a mechanical bike. Their practice of regular cycling may decline and even be taken over by the e-bike. Finally, 32.8% of e-bike users do not have a mechanical bike. The survey does not provide information about how many of them gave up their mechanical bike or started cycling again after purchasing an e-bike.
