About sustainable urban mobility

When we talk about sustainability, it is inevitable to talk about cities, which are at the heart of great changes, and in particular the way we travel. The world of mobility is responsible for about a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans. In recent years, electric bicycles have helped transform mobility into a more sustainable future. 

So what is the future of e-bikes? Let’s start with a news story from last July: VanMoof has declared bankruptcy. The brand, a landmark for the high-end market of electric and pedal-assisted bicycles, had excessive operating costs. Among other things, 10% of customers largely used the returns service. In September, the company was taken over by Lavoie, a scooter brand affiliated with McLaren Applied, part of the Greybull Capital group which works closely with McLaren and Formula 1.
