Can These Self-Charging E-Bike Libraries Bring Mobility to Low-Income Communities?
- Date: 10/01/2024
Buying an e-bike is expensive. Starting last year, a local startup is providing low-cost, self-charging e-bike libraries to low-income communities…
To encourage more biking (less driving) for everyday trips, Ride Illinois initiated "I Can Bike There" in June, partnering with Pointz and Working Bikes.
The Pointz mapping app helps those riding bikes, scooters, and other micro-mobility vehicles navigate safely around cities. Working Bikes, a 501(c)(3) group in Chicago's Little Village, refurbishes donated bikes for redistribution locally and to Third World countries.
