Stranded on your e-bike? There’s now a rescue service for that

Speedy's e-bike rescue.

Imagine cruising along on your e-bike when the motor cuts out or you find that your tyre is flat. You’re standing there, sixty pounds of bike beside you, a kid wailing because they’ll be late for daycare, and the nearest bike shop is seven miles away. The bike’s too heavy to push, too awkward to fix yourself and neither Lyft, Uber nor AAA is coming to your rescue. What do you do?

If you’re in Seattle, there’s now a solution for that, one that many cities across the U.S. could benefit from.
