    BLOG: E-bike battery fires and what the industry can do about it

    Did you see the horror crash of Formula 1 racer Zhoa at Silverstone this year? He survived, miraculously, due to a mandatory safety measure that was introduced in 2018 by car sports federation FIA: the halo. The halo is a titanium part that is placed over the driver's cockpit. The design has a strong resemblance with the upper part of a flip-flop - just look at your Havaianas.

    Mando Pedalrite: A perfect solution for the last mile

    Mando's new series hybrid drive system, the Mando Pedalrite, gives electric vehicles and e-cargo bikes a technological edge. An example is the collaboration with the Spanish company Scoobic. Consumers order more products online and expect faster deliveries - there has never been a time of greater change for the 'last mile' than now. The demand for e-commerce delivery will result in more delivery vehicles in inner cities, leading to a rise in both emissions and traffic congestion without effective intervention. This is one of several reasons why Mando Corporation made its grand entry into the bicycle industry 10 years ago.
