I was commissioned to create technical illustrations of e-bikes by the University of Washington Urban Freight Lab and Genius Creative in 2023, for a white paper called Biking the Goods: How North American Cities Can Prepare for and Promote Large-Scale Adoption of E-Cargo Bikes. As a cyclist myself, I was proud to contribute illustrations to support the infrastructure around e-bikes and cargo bikes.
This paper aims to inform urban planners about what cargo e-bikes are, how they have been successfully integrated into large US cities, and how to adopt these strategies in other cities.
I worked closely with the UW-Urban Freight Lab and Christine Wadden at Genius-Creative to develop concepts for the cover, the color scheme, and to create accurate and appealing e-bike illustrations and icons.
