Tireside Chat: Civilized Cycles with Zachary Schieffelin

May 20, 2021 at 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Join the Museum of Design Atlanta for a conversation with Zachary Schieffelin, founder & CEO of Civilized Cycles.

Zach will tell everyone how he went from being the founder and owner of Vespa Soho in New York City, the largest Vespa dealer in the U.S., to founding Civilized Cyles, an e-bicycle company with the goal of proving that our low carbon future isnโ€™t a sacrifice, its an upgrade.

The company’s first bike โ€” the Model 1 โ€” is part of MODA’s exhibition, Bike to the Future. It was designed to have cross-appeal with both urban dwellers looking for an easier way to get around than Uber or the subway and suburbanites who are looking for a way to reduce their car use, but still need space for passengers or cargo.

This program is supported by The Kendeda Fund as part of MODAโ€™s Climate & Change Project.
