Motorcycles and scooters are about twice as fuel efficient as cars, but the price for low fuel consumption: they are about 10 times more polluting per mile than a car. So to improve air quality in a city like Barcelona- which often exceeds EU limits for air pollution- its 280,000 motorbikes are a good place to start.
The entrepreneurs behind Mobecpoint have already begun to lead the electric moto revolution. They've begun installing charging stations (using only renewable energy) throughout the city, not just simple sockets, but a unique charging system that is both modular-- charging stations can host from 6 to 25 EVs (both motorbikes and cars)-- as well as, smart. System software helps electric motorcycle and scooter owners locate the nearest plug-in spot via smartphone, reserve a spot and once their EV is charged up, it even notifies them with a message to their phone.
