Local authorities visit the company
In October, representatives from four different municipalities in the Rauschenberg area visited us.
Mayors Olaf Hausmann (Kirchhain) and Frank Gleim (Gemünden/Wohra) are still looking for opportunities for sustainable mobility in their communities. The town of Neustadt already has several e-bikes in use for tree maintenance in the various districts and is interested in the possible uses of cargo bikes.
Jörg Stremme and a colleague from Sparkasse Marburg-Biedenkopf were also on site to get an idea of the bike. The Sparkasse has already ordered a bike that will support the maintenance staff in their work from the beginning of 2024.
Testrides for the visitors
After a short presentation about the new VIA 1 and the history of its development, we went out to the parking lot for a test ride. For most of the participants, it was their first ride on a cargo bike. As always, they only needed a short briefing and then the mayors whizzed across the parking lot with a grin on their faces.
In November, we hosted four mayors from the surrounding municipalities: Carsten Laukel from Lahntal, Holger Siemon from Münchhausen, André Schlipp from Amöneburg and Kai-Uwe Spanka from Wetter (Hesse).
The city of Wetter buys a cargo-bike.
Mayor Kai-Uwe Spanka from Wetter is enthusiastic about the VIA 1 and decided to buy a bike at the Municipal Day. The bike is to be made available to the citizens of Wetter. We are very pleased about Mr. Spanka's commitment and will report back to you when the bike is delivered to the city of Wetter.
