Summary

Description

Bicycles are efficient methods of transportation that can make a substantial impact on the economy of impoverished nations. They can carry up to 4x the weight and travel 3-6x as fast as a person walking, and are generally low-cost to repair. However, reaching rural communities with the economic and health benefits of the bicycle remained challenging due to high transport costs, low quality product, rough road conditions and amplified prices in regions further from urban centers.Mozambikes has developed a model to overcome these obstacles, leveraging sales of advertising to corporate and institutional customers to make bicycles and accessories available at affordable prices for people living in impoverished areas.
