#micro-mobility

Dockless hired e-bikes are popular, convenient and emit zero emissions, and micro-mobility is often seen as the solution to transport in cities. But the sector is unregulated. There are concerns over injuries and road safety with a cohort of newer cyclists using the bikes.

Pavements are blocked and there is criticism the rollout of the bikes has not been matched with infrastructure.

The City Council passed a suite of bills aimed at making e-bikes safer, including one banning the sale of reconstituted batteries.

After nearly three years as CEO of Donkey Republic, I have decided to step down. This has been my own decision, and earlier this year, I began a constructive dialogue with the Chairperson of the Board to plan a smooth transition.
