Stroom e-Cargo Bikes

🎯So, we are here! At the International Cargo Bike Festival in Utrecht, NL. #OnlyE-CargoManufacturerFrom Africa #MakingConnections #SeizingOpportunies #RunningWithTheBigDogs

12 months of breaking barriers and reshaping narratives in #Soweto! 🌱⚡️ What started as a vision has blossomed into a movement. In just one year, we've empowered 10 young Sowetans, proving that #sustainabletransport can bridge social divides. Behind these skilled riders stands a diverse team, including our pioneering female manager who's breaking barriers and mastering our e-cargo operations from management to mobility. These aren't just jobs; they're gateways to dignity, purpose, and financial independence for families who never imagined being at the forefront of sustainable transport innovation. Imagine 100 daily deliveries choosing #greenmobility - that's 100 steps toward cleaner air, 100 opportunities for #jobcreation, and 100 victories in our fight against #climatechange and #sedentarylifestyles. From office management to street delivery, we're building a team that reflects our community's diversity and potential. Every e-cargo delivery isn't just a package moved - it's a statement that #Soweto is ready for #sustainableinnovation. That our youth are ready for #greenjobs. That our community is ready for #change. Yet, this is just the beginning. While we're proud to #democratize access to green mobility in Soweto, we need proper #infrastructure to truly mainstream these solutions. Our message to policymakers is clear: investing in #cyclinginfrastructure isn't just about #bikelanes – it's about equal access to opportunity, about bridging social divides, about creating cities that work for everyone. Proud to be driving this quiet revolution in Soweto's streets. From luxury to necessity, from niche to normal – we're making e-cargo mobility #accessible to all. Because when sustainable transport becomes mainstream, everyone wins. 🚲💪🏽 Here's to 12 months of impact and to a future where green mobility isn't a privilege but a right for all Sowetans! A future where #genderbarriers in sustainable transport are history!🚲💚 SHOVeBIKE Stroom e-Cargo Bikes Peter-John Freeman Smarter Mobility Africa Ben Pullen Jean Pierre Du Plessis Citizen Connect Jos Sluijsmans International Cargo Bike Festival Sean Towlson CMILT Adv Dip OpsLog Mbalenhle Sibanda Vuyo Tofile - Emerging Markets Enabler Nanji-Taswa Banda #WomenInLogistics #SustainableSoweto #GreenMobility #GenderEquity #LeadershipInAction #CommunityImpact #YouthEmpowerment #Decadeofthecargobike
