NFT-Powered E-Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Pave Bike is Unlocked and Shared via Exclusive NFT Collections

— July 26, 2022 — Autos
The 'Pave Bike' is marketed as one of the world's first electric bikes with full blockchain integration. This does not mean that the bike will feature a method of trading NFTs and cryptocurrencies, though. Rather, the Pave Bike utilizes blockchain technology as a means of verifying the ownership of the rider and unlocking the bike for riding purposes.

When a customer purchases a Pave Bike they automatically receive access to one Pave Bike NFT. This NFT is stored on the Pave+ mobile application, but can be moved to a digital token card or a crypto wallet. It is important that customers retain this NFT, as the digital token is used to unlock the bike, start its engine, and use the bike as one would. The benefits of using a digital token card or mobile application to store the NFT is that the bike can be started without an internet connection.
