Winter’s coming — and this isn’t just a tagline for House of Stark, but a stark reality for people living in the Nordics. As temperatures drop, micromobility usage decreases, driving commuters back to their cars.
But what if there was a way to make riding scooters and e-bikes appealing, even in cold weather?
Local grannies from Tallinn, armed with knitting needles and a generous dose of love, have come together to tackle chilly weather by creating protective gear for micromobility users.
The cold discourages people from riding, leading to a 50% drop in scooter and e-bike usage. But we’ve found a solution to combat this seasonal decline.
Glovables are grandma-approved gear that offers more than just an extra layer of protection and comfort — they’re a community-driven effort to keep micromobility alive and thriving during the colder months.
Each pair is meticulously handcrafted from high-quality merino wool sourced from free-range sheep in Peru. And they fit perfectly on scooter and e-bike handlebars.
We’re all about keeping micromobility both available and attractive, no matter the weather.
So, we’ve made Glovables available for purchase through Bolt Market in Estonia, with 100% of the proceeds going to the grannies’ small handicraft shop and the NGO Omaabi.
It means that when you buy a pair, you’re not just keeping your hands warm; you’re supporting skilled grannies in continuing to do what they love.
And if you’re into DIY, grab your knitting needles — we’ve got you covered.
Stay warm, ride safe, and support your local grannies.
