Fact 1:

Fact 2:

80% of sales on the European market in 2028 will be generated with e-bikes – this is already the case in Germany and the Netherlands.

Fact 3:

On average, 15 million bicycles end up in landfills worldwide each year.

Fact 4:

The production of a carbon frame produces 16 times more kg of CO2 than that of a steel frame, and unlike the latter, it is very difficult to recycle.
