Go Green

Eco-friendly electric bicycle transportation

Changing your mode of transportation is one of the fastest and most effective ways to have a positive impact on the environment. Each time you ride a Pietzo hybrid electric bicycle, instead of driving a car, you reduce your personal CO2 emissions by approximately a pound for each mile you travel! Since many commutes are less than 15 miles, you can use the electric bicycle much of the time. The same is true for short-haul errands and getting around town. Pietzo electric bikes just make environmental sense.

With an electric bicycle, you also eliminate other auto emissions, such as nitrous oxide, methane, and HFCs from car air conditioners. You can reduce many environmental impacts associated with automobiles – bikes have no oil to change or fluids to flush. Think about the difference in the amount of material for tires and brake pads when those items need replacement. Pietzo electric bicycles use efficient lithium-ion batteries that last up to 20,000 miles. When you are ready for a new battery, Pietzo will accept the old one back and transfer it to a certified recycling center.

Making use of an electric bicycle can reduce the number of cars per household. Imagine a world where the two-car family becomes obsolete. And the life of the car you do drive can be extended. More Pietzo miles, less mileage on the car. All of the material, energy and water used to manufacture, distribute and ultimately dispose of a 3,500 pound automobile gets consumed less often. A 50 pound electric bicycle is better on all counts.

If you lead sustainability or fleet initiatives for your organization, the environmental impact gets multiplied. The bike commuting program that you promote can affect many people on your staff. There are lots of opportunities to use electric bikes instead of motorized vehicles – for transportation among multiple buildings, security patrols, facilities staff movement, and for commuters. And with electric bicycles, your organization’s environmental commitment is very visible – to your employees, to your customers, and to your community.

Reduce your carbon footprint, improve your health and have fun. No matter how you use your electric bicycle, our planet wins.
