Recycling aluminum is more energy efficient than making new aluminum. At this scale, I can imagine recycling this metal into new bicycles could be more efficient than fixing and distributing old bicycles.
- netsharc 6y agoHonestly I wish they had done proper market research before ordering bikes (that cost CO2 to make and distribute). Does any SV company do that any more? I'm guessing not; they see someone offering scooter rentals, they order a few thousand from China, they flood the market. Will it be profitable trying to compete with the others? "Who knows, but hey, we got VC money to burn!".
