Micromobility will be at the centre of the new normal in cities across the World. Suppliers and operators within this field will experience a massive deal of growth in the next decade. ECI is where these companies can be found. Together, we shape the cities of tomorrow.
I'm thrilled to be working with the world's leading operators and service providers of bike sharing. This group is changing the way we move and making our cities greener and more liveable. Bike sharing is key to providing affordable access to bikes for all and accelerating Europe's shift to zero emission mobility.
As a bike-sharing operator, we need to exchange with peers, amplify our voice, and advocate for policies that recognize the transformative impact of bike sharing on cities. ECI provides the perfect platform for this. Together we have already made significant steps in gaining better recognition for our sector.
Sharing is part of Cooltra’s DNA. As a pioneer in the sector, we launched our first sharing service in Barcelona back in 2016. Bike sharing is one of the most effective tools to encourage people to adopt this sustainable mode of transport. Collaborating with fellow members of the ECI Bike Share Group is the best way to do so!
My vision is to see bike-sharing become an integral part of every city. By collaborating with industry key actors, we can offer solutions that not only meet the needs of modern cities but also inspire riders to choose cycling as a preferred way to move.
Thrilled to join the BSEG of European Cycling Industries. It brings together all important stakeholders across the bike sharing industry to discuss best practices and collectively promote a sustainable transportation option which is in fact a much needed lifeline for cities across the world.
Being part of ECI’s Bike Share Expert Group is essential for ensuring that bike-sharing remains at the forefront of sustainable urban mobility policy. By collaborating with industry leaders and policymakers, we ensure that shared micromobility is recognised as a key solution for greener, more liveable cities.
At Donkey Republic, we believe that shared mobility is the key to reducing car dependency and increasing sustainable transport. Through BSEG at ECI, I’m proud to work alongside industry leaders to enhance bike-sharing accessibility and impact across Europe.
As a proud member of ECI, we are excited to contribute to the continued growth and innovation in the eBike sector. We look forward to collaborating with the ECI Bike Share Expert Group to drive sustainable and impactful solutions for the future of cycling.
