Hi all,
Some of you might be aware that VBike is in the process of building up a fleet of human/electric-powered hybrid bikes and cargobikes to demonstrate the potential for these vehicles as super-efficient and enjoyable alternatives to automobiles in Vermont. A major focus of VBike is on reengaging our bodies, senses, and emotional connection to the landscape we inhabit. The bicycle is our vehicle for that.
We’re looking for local folks with some expertise in battery technology and electrical engineering to advise us and help with problem solving as we convert our vehicles to e-assist systems. If you have these skills or know of anyone that may fit this description who may be interested in this project, please email us at info@vbikesolutions.org.
This is a totally exciting project that is set to propel Vermont’s bike culture, technology and design into the 21st century. VBike also works to challenge the assumptions of our car culture and the domination of the automobile on our land and in our psyches in this age of climate change.
Check out our website at www.vbikesolutions.org and visit our Facebook page to see just how far we have come in one year!
Thanks for your help.
Dave Cohen, VBike director & founder
