B-Riders (www.b-riders.nl) is the first project ever to closely follow a large group of bike users (2,500 participants) over a long period of time – one year. A highly innovative bike tracking system was developed, and implemented, featuring an app that automatically registers all trips 24/7.

Part of Portugal’s Madeira archipelago, Porto Santo is using solar-powered EVs, according to a BBC report.
They are charged during the day, with unused energy returned to the grid at night.
