On the road to a more sustainable transportation ecosystem, the electric micromobility segment has really blossomed in recent years, and although some of the once-hyped products have been found to be wanting when it comes to mass adoption (electric skateboards and monowheels come to mind), others, such as e-bikes, have … [continued]
