So true for most of the private scooters.

Electric bicycles are the easiest and least expensive way to get into EVs. And they are the greenest form of transportation available. https://lnkd.in/ghiWA6F5

Extraordinarily good Aaron Naparstek piece from January (ostensibly) about the new Popwheels e-bike battery swap system in NYC. But it's actually about people and economic justice. As all transport/urban policy stories are. I'm fully on board with this narrative: the electrification revolution started a decade ago, led by low-income folks because electrifying small vehicles lowers the cost of participating in society. We need to embrace that and help make it even cheaper and safer. Experiencing Gogoro in person last year transformed my understanding of what the future of mobility looks like. It's cheap, useful, and abundant. Yet In the US the electrification story is twofold: automakers selling status via expensive and impractical (high-margin) vehicles that look like what we already have; and platforms exploiting the collapsing cost of new small electric vehicles to build expensive and impractical (high-margin) mobility networks. If the US is going to succeed in making the pivot to electric transport we need to embrace lowering costs and expanding access to the people our current transportation system fails. As this piece makes clear, that's already happening, but it involves people we treat as invisible/irrelevant and thus we're doing nothing to support it at a policy level, or with the technologies we build and sell in the US.

Ola Roadster: The Affordable Electric Bike. Ola, the electric vehicle manufacturer, is set to launch its first electric bicycle, the Roadster, as an affordable option. Its performance is expected to be comparable to a 125cc gasoline-powered commuter bike. The Roadster likely corresponds to the simpler design seen in the recent patents for Ola's three new electric bikes. The Roadster features a hub motor, telescopic fork, dual shock absorbers, and a combination of front disc and rear drum brakes. This design emphasizes practicality and affordability, catering to daily commuters looking for a cost-effective electric mobility solution. #OlaRoadster #ElectricBike #AffordableEV #UrbanMobility #ElectricVehicle #SustainableTransport #CommuterBike #HubMotor

Bolt’s largest ever scooter study finds that 53% of riders are more likely to ditch their cars for public transport thanks to shared micromobility. Spanning 3000 riders across 14 European countries, Bolt’s research finds that 39% of scooter riders would have used private cars if shared scooters had not been available. “We already knew from previous studies that shared scooters are playing a key role in city transport systems and providing affordable, accessible options to a wide range of customers, notably commuters…These results show how normalised micromobility has become as part of many people's daily habits, but we know we have much further to go.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eXT9Ew74
