Jose Armstrong+FollowManhattan’s bold plan for safer e-bike streetsManhattan’s Community Board 4 is calling out delivery apps like Uber Eats and DoorDash, saying it’s time they take real responsibility for the chaos in our bike lanes and sidewalks. Instead of blaming riders, the board wants the city to make these companies train couriers, enforce safety, and even reward safe riding. Their proposal? Keep slower pedal-assist bikes in protected lanes, push faster mopeds onto the road, and ditch costly bike registration for most cyclists. They’re urging the city to act fast—because too many people feel unsafe just walking around. What do you think: Should the apps be held accountable for street safety? #Tech #Manhattan #EBikes00Share
Travis Baker MD+FollowRivian’s Secret Lab for E-Bikes?!Rivian just spun off a secret project into a new company called Also, and they’re about to drop some wild new e-bikes and scooters. With $105M in fresh funding, they’re aiming to make city commutes way easier (and greener). Apparently, these rides are so efficient, charging them for a year costs less than a fancy dinner. Plus, the e-bike market is booming—think billions in revenue soon. Would you ditch your car for a slick e-bike? #EVs #Micromobility #Rivian #EBikes #SustainableTransport #Cars00Share
malonestephen+FollowMicromobility Isn't A Problem In Cities, It's A Solution! 🚴E-bikes and electric scooters are becoming more popular in our cities and for good reason. They are affordable, efficient, and way better for dense urban environments than big cars. But a lot of people see roads as being for cars only. This is creating a challenge for lawmakers as new faster e-bikes are pushing the boundaries of our laws. The biggest issue is mixing slow traditional bikes with fast e-bikes and even faster cars. Data shows that car drivers are willing to switch to micromobility if they feel safe. A great solution seems to be sacrificing some car lanes for a high speed bike lane. It would solve the problem of co-mingling and make everyone safer. They already do this in some places and it has been a huge success. Giving up car lanes for bikes would get more people riding. It would also help to naturally limit carbon emissions. As a cycling enthusiast, I'm all for these changes anyway 😎 #Micromobility #UrbanPlanning #TrafficLaws #Ebikes #ElectricScooters #CityLife #Transportation #Environment #Discussion 00Share
