Arke has officially delivered our first round customers their adventure kits. It took a lot of hard work, perseverance and attention to quality in detail to accomplish this. There were so many road bumps that pushed us back, but we stayed persistent and pushed through. We are happy to announce that we have officially completed our first B2C beta and plan to roll out a pilot for our B2B GTM. We have developed strategic partnerships that will see our next phase through. We thank everybody for the continuous support. This is only the beginning of our journey.

Imagine that! Just a few months ago, I visited Detroit for the first time, and now I’m heading back for round THREE—this time as a guest speaker at the RECESS24: Resilience and Equity in the Clean Energy Sector Summit, happening September 9 – 11 at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. I’m honored to represent my company Arke Inc. as part of the “Pioneering Mobility Solutions” panel, alongside esteemed disruptors in the mobility space!  On Wednesday, September 11, at 2:00 – 3:15pm, I’ll be speaking with incredible individuals like Tim Slusser, Komal Doshi, and our brilliant moderator Justine Johnson about how we can decarbonize and decongest our urban streets allowing for better inflows and outflows of commuting, operations and logistics as our world expands into a new age.  While I’m still new to this industry, my passion for driving innovation in the mobility sector is unshakable. It's crucial for Black and Brown startups to have a seat at the table in spaces like this, as we bring forward the solutions our often-overlooked communities need most. We understand firsthand the importance of creating equitable and sustainable infrastructure that benefits all—not just a select few. A huge thank you to the wonderful Carla Walker-Miller for the opportunity and Black Tech Saturdays for the alley-oop. Why not combine the power of the Windy City and the Motor City to push the future of mobility forward, right?! Make sure to register and join us in Detroit! 👉🏿 https://lnkd.in/gQF564Ae #RECESS24

Instances of fires initiated by lithium-ion batteries, which power e-bikes, continue to be on the rise. As crucial as these devices are to cities across the country, they pose severe risks when not used properly. That’s why we are proud to sponsor the League of American Bicyclists' National Bike Summit, where we will highlight the need for voluntary adoption of safety standards for e-bikes, which offer a layer of protection for the consumer who is largely unaware of their risks.
