I have good news if you are like me and are searching for less carbon-centric transportation. Electric bikes are more accessible in Coimbra, Portugal. 

Bolt is delighted to introduce the new member of the two-wheeled Bolt family! Starting at the beginning of May 2022, the citizens of Coimbra will be able to travel from A to B on Bolt’s electric bicycles!
