Cleaner transport. Stronger local businesses. More people experiencing the joy of cycling.
The South African E-Cargo Bike Project is testing how electric cargo bicycles, supported by renewable-energy charging, can strengthen local enterprises, create green economic opportunities and make cycling a more visible, practical and enjoyable part of everyday life.
Working with entrepreneurs and community-based initiatives across Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Cape Town and Johannesburg, the project combines business development, appropriate technology, public participation and real-world testing to develop models that can grow beyond the pilot phase.
