Community Mobility: An ebike for Crash

Hi, my name is Crash and I am a disabled queer and trans person living in poverty!

Recently, I had to leave a care-work job because my health has gotten to the point where I shouldn't be relied on to do care-work for others. In order to find another job & make up the lost income, I need access to fast and independent transportation that doesn't wreak havoc on my body. I've done a bunch of research and found an electric cargo bike that I believe would allow me to go directly to and from obligations without help much of the time.

The fundraiser goal comes from the sum of the bike (when not on sale), the accessories I need to make it accessible to me, and some wiggle room for taxes and fees. Any spare funds will be used for a new helmet, reflectors, bungee cords, etc. If I have any after that, it will be split between two local Minneapolis charities.

Having this bike will take a 90-minute multi-modal bus/walk or bus/borrowed scooter commute down to about 25 minutes of seated, battery-propelled or pedal-assisted movement. It would enable me to keep both jobs I have now, search for a third, and possibly continue to branch out into the small business I sparked last summer.

Thank you for listening!
