Printing Services E-bike
Project Summary:
NAU Printing Services is updating its campus delivery fleet by introducing a custom-equipped electric bicycle to replace traditional, fossil-fuel-reliant vans. Operated by student workers, this zero-emission Rad Power Bike easily navigates the university’s central pedways and bike paths, reducing local air pollution and alleviating vehicular congestion on campus roadways. Partnering with Single Track, a local bicycle shop, for assembly and long-term maintenance, the department prioritizes sustainable transit while executing efficient logistical operations. The e-bike cuts down on gasoline expenses and heavy vehicle maintenance while simultaneously providing a healthy, alternative transportation method for the student delivery team. By integrating this eco-friendly vehicle into daily workflows and outfitting it with Green NAU promotional graphics, Printing Services serves as a highly visible champion for the university’s Climate Action Plan, powerfully demonstrating the viability of clean mobility.
