🚲 A little appreciation post for EcoVoltz! 💚
Covering the FEI World Championships in Aachen meant long days, lots of camera gear… and quite a distance between our campsite and the stadium!
Thankfully, our EcoVoltz bikes made life so much easier. Instead of making that long walk several times a day loaded down with cameras and equipment, we could hop on the bikes and be at the action in no time. 📸🐎
And, of course, Boris had his own transport arrangements… 🐶😂 Safely tucked into his carry pouch, he was more than happy to hitch a ride!
After a very busy couple of weeks in Aachen, we definitely appreciated just how useful the bikes were.
Thank you EcoVoltz — we honestly wouldn’t have wanted to do Aachen without them! 🚲💚
🎥 And judging by this video, Boris is already looking forward to his next trip… 🐾
