A big thank you to John Surico for taking the time to visit our New York UpCenter and for writing such a thoughtful piece for Bloomberg on the changing landscape of e-Bike ownership in the U.S. What really stands out in his reporting is how simple access remains one of the biggest barriers for many people who’d like to ride. E-Bikes can be transformative, for cities, for commuting, for the way we move, but they need to be affordable, safe, and easy to get. 🔗 Read the full Bloomberg article here https://lnkd.in/eB8UEy6K Maxime Renson Marta Anadón Rosinach Toussaint Wattinne Stéphane Ficaja John Surico Melinda Hanson Ysabel Hoogeveen

We were honored to welcome Senator Julia Salazar of the New York State Senate to our Upway UpCenter in Brooklyn. E-bikes are already reshaping how New Yorkers move: - 762,000+ people ride regularly - 22% of car trips are under 1 mile - Citi Bike logged 45M+ trips last year - 65,000+ delivery workers rely on e-Bikes daily We discussed the role of e-Bikes in increasing access to affordable transportation, easing congestion, and cutting emissions, especially in transit deserts. We’re excited to see leaders like Senator Salazar champion initiatives like the E-Bike Rebate Bill, which can make clean mobility more accessible to even more New Yorkers. Thank you, Senator Salazar, for your leadership and commitment to this vision. 🚲 Maxime Renson Julia Salazar Marta Anadón Rosinach Stéphane Ficaja Toussaint Wattinne Daniel Korman Melinda Hanson
