The winners have been announced for the first-ever Move Electric Awards, an event created to celebrate leaders in electric mobility.
Held online with winners announced via social media, prizes were awarded for a number of categories, ranging from best e-bike to best e-commerce of the year and best British.
The awards were organized by Move Electric, a new consumer-focused publication that is a sister title to What Car?
Hyundai, Ribble and Fully Charged were among the big winners at the awards show on Wednesday March 30.
In the e-bike category, British bicycle brand Ribble won the Best Electric Bike award for its Ribble Hybrid AL e machine.
Move Electric editor James Attwood said: “Ribble is an established company in the bike world, and the Hybrid AL e shows that it is making the transition to e-bikes in style.
“It’s a bike that really mixes style and substance, and it’s a great example of British engineering.”
Micromobility rental company Lime also won the breakthrough award for its progress in developing safety technologies and interchangeable batteries for its e-bikes and scooters.
