So here we go, my first edition of BikeBiz as editor after taking over the reins at the end of last month. It’s quite surreal to say the least. First of all I’d like to thank my predecessor Alex for his guidance over the last few months and all of us here wish him the best for the future. Secondly, a special mention to Richard, Mandie and our two freelancers Rebecca Bland and
Rebecca Morley who have all put in a sterling effort to get this magazine into your hands. From my side of things it is business as usual, so let’s crack on shall we? This edition is our e-bike and e-scooter issue of BikeBiz. In reality, every piece of content we publish seeks to highlight the benefits and
opportunities of micromobility, from e-bikes to cargo bikes to e-scooters and everything in between. I recently sat down with Stephen Holt of the Bicycle Association to see how plans to launch
a UK-wide battery collection and recycling service are progressing (p21-23), Rebecca Bland highlights German cargo bike manufacturer Ca Go (p32-33) and Rebecca Morley takes a look at where we stand on e-scooter legislation (p35-36). Elsewhere in the mag, I visit Pierer New Mobility in Austria (p25-27) we hear from New Motion Labs about their innovative drivetrain technology (p42-43) and Joanna Flint from Green Commute Initiative shines a positive light on the Cycle to Work scheme (p51). The uptake of sustainable transport is as important as ever. When the time comes for governments and authorities to acknowledge this, the bike industry stands ready to drive that shift forward.
