Bolt joins forces with local grannies to keep micromobility going in the cold

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.

Glovables: hand warmers keeping micromobility going

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. 

Let’s wrap up

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.
