How Paul Budnitz Built the World’s Lightest Electric Bicycle

How Paul Budnitz Built the World’s Lightest Electric Bicycle

07/2018 Escape video

Around 2010, entrepreneur Paul Budnitz realized something wasn’t working: he had too much stuff. As he sifted through his possessions, he knew something had to change—he needed quality products that could last a lifetime, not cheap and disposable goods. Thus was the first bicycle from Budnitz Bicycles built.

Designed with care and meant to last for generations to come, the electric bike also stands as one of the world’s lightest rides of its kind. See more in the video above or browse our book VELO Cityfor how others are taking to two-wheeled travels around the world.
