Abstract

The electric vehicle progressively increases its sales and consequently its presence in the cities. Despite its advantages, the low noise levels of electric and hybrid vehicles could pose a risk to other road users. In order to determine how drivers of electric and hybrid motorcycles perceive this risk, a field study was carried out. A questionnaire was used to collect the information. Overall, electric vehicles increase the driving comfort of electric and hybrid motorcycle drivers. Although these drivers do not believe that problems could appear, they recognize that lack of noise could pose a greater risk to other road users.
