Visitors in Hiiuma island, in Estonia, regularly go around the island using their private car, as it is more convenient to visit key attractions that are quite far apart. However, this means that they don’t get to see and enjoy the beauty of the island. As a result, through effective partnerships and involvement from local entrepreneurs, an electric bicycle network was created as an extension to public transport for visitors and locals to have a lower carbon mobility option and provide a more attractive experience of the island.
