Urban-X highlights Popwheels

Urban-X highlights the recent feature of Popwheels and its founder, Baruch Herzfeld, in New York Magazine's Curbed. Herzfeld emphasizes the social aspect of urban challenges, advocating for local solutions over external consulting.

The article discusses the challenges posed by lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes, citing them as a major cause of fires in cities. Popwheels, part of Urban-X's Cohort 14, aims to address this crisis by developing and deploying battery-swapping networks. These networks offer delivery workers a safer alternative to traditional batteries.
