We got our e-cargo bike in 2019 and were able to sell a car, avoiding 20 metric tons of CO2 since then.

It's fast, it's fun, it's freedom. ⚡💡🔌 🚲
In terms of mobility, e-bikes are selling faster & having bigger effects on emissions than EVs, much less self-driving EVs. And yet they get vastly, vastly less attention.

Why 2023 was the year of the e-bike and not the self-driving car
E-bikes and self-driving cars both entered the year with momentum. Only one maintained it.
