Nordkirchen awarded: E-load wheels conquer the streets!

Nordkirchen, Deutschland - In Nordkirchen, an innovative e-cargo bike system was launched, which led to the national award! The municipality, which wanted to offer its citizens alternatives to the car, has now gained a place among the top 20 projects in Germany at the “At home on the road. Mobile in rural areas”, advertised by the Federal Office for Building and Spatial Planning (BBR). Thanks to this success, Nordkirchen receives prize money of 5,000 euros.

The project launched in 2022 enables the residents to comfortably borrow electric cargo bikes via an app. With several locations in the municipality, including the leisure site Kleimann's WEG and Julius-Schwieters-Straße, the bikes can be borrowed easily and keylessly. The initiative was launched by climate protection manager Janine Eßmann in order not only to make new forms of mobility tasty for citizens, but also to create a common benefit that goes beyond individual grants. The participation of other municipalities from the Coesfeld district shows the great interest in this future -oriented approach.
