Co-founder Popwheels. Building America's first e-bike battery swap network. Triplet dad.

Popwheels  participated in yesterday’s ‘Pedal Power for the Green Economy' event at the Brooklyn Army Terminal with JOCO, Net Zero Logistics, FLY EBIKE, DutchX, CLIP.BIKE Inc, Lime, Emissionless Mobility and others.   NYC and NYS  are advancing $100 million dollars into building a climate innovation hub at this historic location.  The goal is to grow green technology startups at BAT, part of Mayor Adams’ initiative to create 400,000 green jobs in NYC by 2040.  Public/private partnerships will be the key to the migration of NYC transportation to renewable energy. David Hammer participated in the panel moderated by Jennifer Sun to discuss this topic, with Chris Nolte, Irene Figueroa-Ortiz and Inbar Kishoni. All these new cargo bikes, light electric vehicles, and delivery e-bikes will need safe battery swapping, and after the panel David demonstrated our battery swapping cabinet outside Terminal B, which is one the cabinets up and running in the DOT Studio/ Newlab pilot.    Thanks Aaron Charlop-Powers for arranging everything, and Andrew Kimball, Meera Joshi and Ryan Lynch for their opening remarks, demonstrating NY’s commitment.
