50 Rebels II

Direct

• Promotion of local industry and employment: the 50 Rebels bikes are produced mainly by Portuguese manufacturers, with its main factory and assembly in the town of Águeda, and seat production in the town of Famalicão. The local production promotes and boosts the Portuguese industry, which in turn, generates employment. With the financing of this project, the production capacity is increased.
• Promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship: with the recognition of the ANI (Portuguese National Agency for Innovation), 50Rebels will have its activity in the technology sector recognized, in which it carries out research and development (R&D) activities aiming at the creation of new or improved products or services and processes.

Indirect

• Decarbonization of transport and cities: The use of electric bikes for daily commuting contributes to decarbonizing cities and improving air-quality since they are non-polluting methods of transportation. Also, each electric bike used for daily commuting to work avoids on average 243 kgs of CO2 emissions per year, in comparison with the use of a diesel car, which is the equivalent of the absorption of 11 trees yearly.
• Promotion of healthy lifestyles and well-being: increased cycling habits in cities contribute to air quality and road safety, when it replaces individual motorized transport, and to healthier lifestyles from exercise.
• Promotion of sustainable cities’ infrastructure: the financing of this project contributes to more people cycling, which incentivizes public policy towards building resilient infrastructure for sustainable transport systems.
• Promote accessible and sustainable transport systems: the financing of this project can empower people in their daily locomotion, with access to sustainable transport systems.
