If you go through Germany during your vacation, you may see a convenience store arrive equipped with an electric bicycle. An ecological mode of transport, which also allows faster interventions, and often just as effective to restart vehicles.
In the streets of Darmstad (Germany), he connects the interventions, often urgent. When this convenience store arrives on site, it is often a surprise. Many expected a tow truck to arrive, rather than a bicycle and trailer. “I would not have believed, I was afraid that he would come in a huge truck. I prefer the bike, it’s less intrusive”confides the motorist.
For a basic problem, like in this case a flat battery, the repairman has plenty to do in his toolbox. “Small parts, vehicle opening system, keys, tire repair kit”, he lists. Less than a minute later, the problem is indeed solved. He thus travels up to 60 km per day in the city. “Fortunately, it’s an electric bike, because the trailer is heavy. But I don’t have a problem, I’m relaxed and the fresh air does me good”he confides.
