The usage refers to the trial only. Here's the quote from the original article [1]:
"Usage of the e-Bikes for commuting remained high for the duration of the Albany trial, peaking at 60 per cent in the first week, before dropping to 28 per cent by week nine.
But the uptake in cycling was sustained even after the trial finished.
One in two participants enjoyed riding their e-Bike so much they purchased it once the trial finished. "
