The E-Bike: A Sustainable Recovery from Covid-19

new normal

The recovery from the epidemic can be attributed to the success of preventive measures and the exceptional work of healthcare professionals.

Public transportation has experienced a decline in passengers, as many opt to walk or ride bicycles when possible. According to the United Nations, major cities like Milan, Geneva, Brussels, London, Lisbon, and Porto are increasingly incorporating more bicycle paths to address this growing need.

WHY an e-bike AND NOT a CAR?

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a prevalent concern today, necessitating preventive measures that we are all familiar with. Can bicycles offer a sustainable solution for recovery post-COVID-19?

Given the need to avoid crowded locations, many individuals have opted to forgo public transportation in favor of more personalized options.

Consequently, there has been a notable increase in the presence of bicycles in urban areas, reflecting a shift towards alternative modes of transportation.

ADVANTAGES

The bicycle doesn't require insurance, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and eliminates the hassle of finding parking spots.

This stress-free mode of transportation contributes to a greener world by producing zero emissions.

As Portugal and many other European countries gradually lift COVID-19 restrictions from the crisis period, people are embracing the bicycle as a sustainable means of returning to normalcy.

SOME WILL CHOOSE THE CAR

Despite the persistence of common traffic jams, there is now a heightened concern regarding their potential exacerbation, a fear already acknowledged by the European Union.

Each year, sustainability objectives outlined in the Paris Accords aim to reduce the emission of pollutants.

The PEP (Transport, Health, and Environment Pan-European Programme) serves as a task force, comprised of members from the World Health Organization and the United Nations, dedicated to addressing this issue by envisioning countermeasures.

With the entrance of cars already restricted in some urban centers, further limitations are anticipated in the near future.

United Nations’ SECRETARY-GENERAL

“Public funds should be used to invest in the future, not the past, and flow to sustainable sectors and projects that help the environment and the climate. Fossil fuel subsidies must end, and polluters must start paying for their pollution”.

THE ELECTRIC BIKE IS HERE TO STAY!

It's a fantastic opportunity to once again feel the gentle breeze on our face as we pedal towards regaining the physical shape we had before the Covid-19 diet.

The electric assistance can be particularly helpful in easing the transition back into physical exercise without the initial shock.

We firmly believe that the future is green and will be propelled by two wheels.
