Safer, more sustainable, certified batteries, that are tracked, monitored and disposed of propererly.
Almost every day there is a catasprophic e-bike fire in NYC. These fires injure, kill and ruin peoples lives. Even one fire is too much
There is a solution: We need to switch to LFP battery packs and a swappable battery network that charges batteries outside of peoples apartments and is safe for ebikes to be stored inside.
LFP batteries are more sustainable, more ethically sources, and are far less likely to catch fire. They are much safer to be stored indoors.
We need regulation to make sure that dangerous batteries are removed from the street and our apartments, and that all batteries in the city are carefully tracked.

Increased adoption of light electric vehicles through a standardized, swappable battery network
We love e-bikes and e-scooters. They are so much better than cars for crowded cities.
We love them for seniors. We love them for parents who use them to transport their kids. We love them for restaurant, grocery and parcel delivery. We love them for people who use it for commuting, work, or just for pleasure.
Over the past few years, e-bikes and e-scooters have grown quickly, with barely any standardization or regulation. We think this is a correctable mistake.
We believe that when cities invest in, or merely just encourage, a battery swap network, more people will get bikes and scooters who were reluctant before, and the ones who have them already, will use them more. We want to see more people ride their e-bikes to the beach, more seniors using e-scooters instead of para-transit, and more packages being delivered on bikes instead of in trucks. Making it easy for these vehicles to stay charged is the best way to get this done.

Increase Regulation
The city is full of careless riders, vendors and digital services that discourage investment in proper battery safety and maintenance. A lack of regulation increase tensions unnecessarily between pedestrians, landlords, riders, first responders, and food powered cyclists.
We want increased regulation throughout the whole ecosystem of e-bikes and e-scooters, from the unlicensed and online sellers of bikes and batteries to the delivery apps and their riders.
There are 20x as many e-bikes and e-scooters as there are cars. This growth happened organically, without infrastructure investment.
The only way to continue this growth safely is to do so within a proper regulatory framework where stores are licensed and certified batteries are tracked, inspected and monitored from the time of sale until they are properly recycled.
