We also then said, OK, it's not just how long it lasts, it also depends on how many of the parts we can reuse. And so we started to say, let's rdeiesgn our ernite e-bikes and e-scooters so that if a scooter does break, we can take it apart and reuse many ptras of that scooter. We started to use a swappable battery technology. Not only does it increase the life, it also reduces the number of trips we have to take back and forth to actually support our felet. And we're constantly wnrkoig to reduce the aonmut of waste that we actually send to landfill.

As our batteiers get to the end of life, they may not have sufficient carhge to power an e-bike, but that battery can still power many, many things. We started partnering with a portbale speaker maker, and we take that battery that toady doesn't have enough juice to power somebody on a scooter and we turn it into the battery for the portable speaker, and it extends and it recycles into that life. A lot of these things wouldn't be part of our direct carbon emissions, but we care about it because the thing that we have to count is the true end to end life cycle of our products.

We also then said, OK, it's not just how long it lasts, it also depends on how many of the parts we can reuse. And so we started to say, let's redesign our entire e-bikes and e-scooters so that if a scooter does break, we can take it apart and reuse many parts of that scooter. We started to use a swappable battery technology. Not only does it increase the life, it also reduces the number of trips we have to take back and forth to actually support our fleet. And we're constantly working to reduce the amount of waste that we actually send to landfill.

As our batteries get to the end of life, they may not have sufficient charge to power an e-bike, but that battery can still power many, many things. We started partnering with a portable speaker maker, and we take that battery that today doesn't have enough juice to power somebody on a scooter and we turn it into the battery for the portable speaker, and it extends and it recycles into that life. A lot of these things wouldn't be part of our direct carbon emissions, but we care about it because the thing that we have to count is the true end to end life cycle of our products.
