Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
With electric bikes popping up all over these days, it’s easy to forget the original clean and green micromobility option — a straight-up bicycle, or as Jo calls them, “” bicycles. I prefer the term ‘analog’ bicycle myself, but no matter what you call them, a traditional 2-wheeler with no electric motor or battery is still quite an efficient way to get around.
“E-bikes made a ton of sense for a population that found itself more or less forced outdoors after years of doom-scrolling and commuting to and from work. They got people outside, gave them a little exercise, and by-and-large enabled them to experience all the joys of riding a bicycle without the nagging strains and pains of middle age.
If you’re looking for a truly emissions-free transportation option, and one that has a much lighter environmental footprint, you might want to take a step back from the field of heavy, high tech, all-the-bells-and-whistles-and-apps, 28 mph electric bikes and opt for a hip old-school bike like the latest in the Black Label Series from State Bicycle Co.
“Responding to the growing demand for versatility in urban cycling, the lightweight 6061 aluminum Black Label v3 with carbon fork now supports up to a 38c tire, opening up a world of possibilities for riders. Whether it’s smooth tarmac, rugged city streets, or even a little tracklocross the v3 is ready to conquer it all. With a tapered head tube and featuring full carbon fork, the Black Label Series is a stiff and responsive ride.
