Lectric eBikes launched its first-ever pet-focused micromobility accessory, the 'Wag-Along.' The Wag-Along is a pet trailer that can be mounted on the back of an e-bike, and is fully compatible with Lectric eBikes' range of e-bikes. With the release of the Wag-Along, Lectric is encouraging bikers to bring their pets along, or encouraging pet-owners who drive their pet places to move to a more sustainable transportation method.
The CEO of Lectric eBikes, Levi Conlow, stated: "It became evident that our customers wanted to bring their furry friends along for the ride and, until now, we didn't have anything to fulfill that need," leading to the release of the Wag-Along at an affordable $179 USD pricetag.
