An Ebike Company Was Sued Over Alleged Safety Misinformation. Several Chinese businesses associated with the ebike brand Aipas settled a lawsuit with Amazon and the safety certification company UL in July. Amazon and UL, a company that tests and certifies that products meet safety standards, settled a lawsuit in July with several Chinese companies that manufacture ebikes under the Aipas brand name. The US companies accused the Chinese firms in January of claiming in Amazon listings and on Aipas' website that the ebikes had been certified by UL, giving recognizable, brand-name assurance to online shoppers worried about risks like ebike lithium-ion battery fires . On July 15, a federal judge signed off on a permanent injunction in which the companies agreed that they would no longer use the UL mark.

An unadorned ebike is a blank canvas. Here, get tips for maximizing its cargo-hauling and person-carrying capabilities. When my wife and I bought our first ebike--a Radwagon 4 by the Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes --four years ago, we did so to replace one of our two family cars. For in-town trips of 5 miles or less, we figured we could (and should!) use the bicycle. At the time, our kids were very young, so we needed a bike capable of safely carting them around and also handling whatever we were hauling on a given day.

After a year in which industry was knocked off its axis by the coming of age of artificial intelligence and the transition to an online world continued apace, new businesses are emerging and old industries reinventing themselves to adapt. Here, we look at five companies making the most of these turbulent times. It's been a difficult year for the operators of electric scooters, bikes and mopeds: most notably in Paris, where its e-scooter rental scheme was shut down by city authorities after a popular vote. One big player, Tier, nominated here a year ago as a company to watch, also lost its business in London when trial licences were renewed. Increasingly, in the crowded streets of the UK, rental ebikes are looking a better bet than the e-scooter: a more familiar mode of transport for occasional users, feeling safer and with the bonus of sitting rather than standing.

ABSTRACT Micro-mobility is promising to contribute to sustainable cities in the future with its efficiency and low cost. To better design such a sustainable future, it is necessary to understand the trends and challenges. Thus, we examined people's opinions on micro-mobility in the US and the EU using Tweets. We used topic modeling based on advanced natural language processing techniques and categorized the data into seven topics: promotion and service, mobility, technical features, acceptance, recreation, infrastructure and regulations. Furthermore, using sentiment analysis, we investigated people's positive and negative attitudes towards specific aspects of these topics and compared the patterns of the trends and challenges in the US and the EU. We found that 1) promotion and service included the majority of Twitter discussions in the both regions, 2) the EU had more positive opinions than the US, 3) micro-mobility devices were more widely used for utilitarian mobility and recreational purposes in the EU than in the US, and 4) compared to the EU, people in the US had many more concerns related to infrastructure and regulation issues. These findings help us understand the trends and challenges and prioritize different aspects in micro-mobility to improve their safety and experience across the two areas for designing a more sustainable micro-mobility future. INTRODUCTION The growth of transportation has raised the need for compact, flexible, and more sustainable forms of transportation. Recent developments in the micro-mobility industry show that these devices might address this issue and offer people safer and cheaper trips with reduced travel time. According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) definition (Society of Automotive Engineers, 2019), micro-mobility refers to a range of small, less than 500 pounds (227 kg) lightweight, fully motorized or motor-assisted devices operating at a speed below 30 mph (48 km/h) and ideal for trips up to 10 km. Typical examples include e-bikes, e-scooters, e-unicycles and e-skateboards, and some of them are widely used as personal or shared transportation devices (Price, Blackshear, Blount Jr, & Sandt, 2021). The global micro-mobility market has been increasing over the years. According to the NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials, 2020), 136 million trips were generated by shared micro-mobility in 2019 in the U.S., which was 60% more than 2018. Thus, micro-mobility devices can be well integrated into the overall urban design process of smart and sustainable transportation in the near future. With the sustainable design and development goal, we should not only consider technical challenges and requirements (e.g., battery and material), but also complement and constrain the design and development process by social, infrastructural, and political schemes for a sustainable future (Jiao, Luo, Malmqvist, Johan, & Summers, 2022).

Over the past 13 months, consumers have grown used to the flexibility and convenience of a lifestyle that is more online than ever before. With the rapid progress of this digital shift, businesses are gaining access to more and more consumer data, and the tools for leveraging this data to personalize consumers' experiences are becoming more refined. As consumers grow used to on-demand services and experiences, so do businesses, expecting solutions that meet their specific needs on a moment-to-moment basis. Demandoo, an on-demand insurance provider based in Tel Aviv, Israel, is taking this mindset to the insurance industry, using artificial intelligence (AI) to provide case-by-case risk assessment and offer insurance solutions that meet the specific needs of each customer. Now, the company has partnered with Pizza Hut Israel to insure the company's eBike delivery fleet, a vehicle overlooked by traditional insurance providers.
