About this event
This interactive webinar session will begin with an in-depth look at the “Napper typology”, a nuanced approach to understand bicycle usage beyond the conventional commuting/recreation activities. By accommodating a wide range of trip types, this typology offers a framework that contribute to better road user experiences.
Next, we will delve into the realm of electric bicycles (e-bikes), hailed as a solution to replace motorized transport, but also posing safety concerns due to an increase in crashes for higher speeds. Insights from a cross-country survey conducted in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands will explore user acceptance of smart e-bikes with active road safety assistance. The study will reveal psychological factors that influences motivation to use smart e-bikes for enhanced safety, by applying “Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology”.
Our final presentation will focus on Australia, where cycling rates are low with greater gender disparities. Despite a significant interest among women in Australia (77% in Victoria), limitations to cycling often arise from built and sociocultural environments, which is tailored predominantly to men's mobility needs and safety perceptions. The presentation will explore the potential role of e-bikes in breaking these barriers and promoting inclusivity in biking.
Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of these topics, where we aim to spark discussions, exchange ideas, and envision a future where bicycle also serves as a tool for inclusiveness, safety, and sustainable living.

Associate Professor Robbie Napper | Department of Design | Monash University
Robbie Napper is an Industrial Designer, Researcher and Associate Professor with the Department of Design at Monash University. Robbie’s aim is to make sustainable transport the easiest choice to make. He pursues this goal by designing innovative vehicles and transport systems, studying a cross section of the built environment including bicycles, buses, the road rules, and how people use mobility systems.
Dr Rumana Sarker | Public Transport Research Group (PTRG) | Monash University
Rumana is a Research Fellow at the Public Transport Research Group (PTRG) at the Monash University. She completed her PhD in 2020 at the University Innsbruck in Austria. Her doctoral project aimed to promote sustainable mobility by exploring the role of emerging technologies in the advancement of public transport systems, from a socio-technical perspective. Her current research at the Monash University focuses on post-pandemic changes in travel behaviour, by exploring how transport choices are shaped by people's needs and values to be better, do better and feel better.
Dr Lauren Pearson | Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research Group (SPHPM) | Monash University
Lauren is an applied transport and public health researcher, with a specific focus on the intersection between sustainable and active modes of transport, and gender equity. Her PhD research exploring barriers and enablers of cycling continues to directly inform transport and road safety policy and funding internationally and within Australia. Lauren's research vision is to use co-design and participatory methods to unlock the potential of equitable active transport and realise the significant health, environmental, social and economic benefits of getting more people active as part of everyday.
