Working Together for Better Infrastructure for Bikes, Scooters, Skateboards, Peds, & More [VIDEO]

The momentum is building. 

There is a big revolution in the way we get around and it is blending some of the traditional forms of transport with the latest in technology to create very efficient ways of getting around.

What is really interesting is how these combined forms of “light” transportation all have an interest in more infrastructure that is safer for riding & walking. 

At Electric Bike Report we focus on electric bikes and they are a great fit to cover many types of trips but they are just part of this overall light form of transportation. 

There are many other forms of transport becoming available to get us from point A to B and then to C and D and beyond.  [Read more…] about Working Together for Better Infrastructure for Bikes, Scooters, Skateboards, Peds, & More [VIDEO]

Comfortable Camping by Electric Bike – Part 3 w/ eCamping Tips

I’ve already covered an e-bike camping trip taking plenty of gear to make me comfortable in this post and this post.

For this second trip I took a Haibike Sduro Trekking 4.0 which looked a good choice on paper and a Radical Design Chubby trailer (reviewed here) to enable me to carry more gear than last time (and the Chubby also packed down well, as some train travel was involved).

An e-cargo bike would be a great alternative for heavy duty camping trips like this but as they are not allowed on UK trains one wasn’t suitable for this particular trip. 

I’d planned a three night break for myself and brother with even more creature comforts than last time, including a much bigger tent, the ability to cook basic meals and a solar-powered LED lighting and charging with the HUBi 2K from Solar technology.

Electric Cargo Bikes to Replace Polluting Delivery Vans in the UK

-By Richard Shrubb

On the 10th of September the UK government Office for Low Emission Vehicles announced that it would make £2 million ($2.5m) available to support the growth in use of e-cargo-bikes in logistics. 

The Office for Low Emission Vehicles said, “The funding will help pave the way for the nimble electric delivery vehicles to replace older, polluting vans – helping to improve the environment and reduce congestion.”

Jesse Norman, Minister for Low Emission Vehicles said “Support for e-cargo bikes will help to ensure that Britain leads the way in the development and deployment of the technologies of the future. Encouraging electric delivery bikes on to our city streets will cut traffic and improve air quality, and will show how these vehicles have the potential to play an important role in the zero emission future of this country.” [Read more…] about Electric Cargo Bikes to Replace Polluting Delivery Vans in the UK
