In terms of electric bikes, the GoTrax Z4 LITE eBike stands out for its lightweight and foldable design, making it highly convenient for urban commuters and recreational riders. Its triple folding mechanism allows for easy storage in compact spaces, while the 350-watt motor and 48-volt battery provide a solid performance with a top speed of 20 mph and a range of up to 25 miles. The bike’s affordability, currently priced at $599, adds to its appeal.
As for the eco-friendly ventures of brick-and-mortar stores, Starbucks and Dunkin' will trial reusable to-go cups until October 28. These cups, which can be returned to over 60 designated bins throughout the city, will be collected, cleaned, and reused. This initiative, in partnership with the NextGen Consortium, aims to promote sustainability with the message “Sip, Return, Repeat” displayed on the purple cups.
