Tech Giants Make Their Move on the E-bike Biz
What’s electric powered micromobility?
It’s simply a reality in the form of many thousands of public share e-kickscooters and e-bikes – and it could just be the first wave of transport innovations in cities across the world.
And at the forefront of the micromobility transport revolution are large corporations, many from the high-tech business arena.
You might expect auto makers to be at the forefront; for example Ford-sponsored share e-bikes appeared in San Francisco early in the year, demonstrating just how keen auto manufacturers are to move into new areas of electric transport in all its forms.
But the main e-bike and e-kickscooter share launches have come from [Read more…] about 2018 eBike Roundup Part 2: Shared Electric Micromobility [VIDEOS]
Part 1 – E-Kickscooters, Powered Cycles, & Speed Pedelecs
E-bikes have seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years so that many more people are aware of what they are and how they can work.
In summary they have all the advantages of a regular bicycle with the added power of a relatively small but very effective motor whose power output and maximum assist speed are limited by law.
But in fact there are many more designs of vehicle out there that are (legally speaking) classed as e-bikes but frequent interesting but often very specific niches or perhaps vehicles that are not e-bikes legally speaking but borrow many of the elements of their design i.e. small but powerful motors and lightweight lithium batteries.
These are many and varied, from the relatively well-known e-kickscooters and speed pedelecs to emerging classes of vehicles such as e-micro-cars and quadricycles that have the potential to radically change the transport scene in our towns and cities.
In this first of two articles we take a look at the relatively well-known e-kickscooters and speed pedelecs and the lesser known Powered Cycle category. [Read more…] about Beyond the “Electric Bicycle”: Part 1 [VIDEOS]
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]
