In the United States, several cities are building “eco-districts” where cars are partially or even completely excluded. Such is the case in Tempe, Arizona, where cars will no longer be welcome in certain areas, and in particular this construction area is called, and this is not made up, “Culdesac.”
The entire area will become pedestrianized, and special bicycle lanes will be laid for long trips. The area uses space that is normally reserved for car parking instead, arrange parks or public spaces intended for recreation.
Kuldesak, in several numbers, this is 3.2 km of bike paths, no asphalt, more than 700 houses and about 44,000 m2 infrastructure for residents. Residents who will also have a little surprise when they put their bags in Culdesac.
All residents will also have access to discounts on electrical goods at Archer’s Bikes! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we named one of our streets Lectrick Avenue in honor of this partnership! Read more here: https://t.co/smxr7RxEpM

Additional motivation to settle in an eco-district?
The company building this eco-district is partnering with Phoenix-based electric bike manufacturer Lectric eBikes. to offer the first 200 residents of the neighborhood a Lectric XP 2.0 electric bicycle.
There will be some unspecified “small” service charges, but Archer’s Bikes, a local e-bike shop that has sprung up in Caldesac, will also offer free tire sealant and a one-year local warranty for residents who receive their bike.
Culdesac residents who want to purchase another model of Lectric e-bike, such as the company’s new electric trike or electric cargo bike, will receive a $300 voucher (approximately €271 at current exchange rates) towards the purchase of their electric bike. choice. In addition, they will receive a 5% discount on all Lectric e-bikes purchased at a nearby store.
What is Lectric XP 2.0?
The Lectric XP 2.0 retails for $999 (around €904) and is one of the company’s cheapest e-bikes, along with the newer XP 3.0.
The XP 2.0 is limited to 45 km/h with electric drive or 32 km/h with single throttle control. It features a lockable and removable 48-volt lithium-ion battery, mechanical disc brakes and a hydraulic suspension fork.
To “celebrate” this partnership with Lectric, Culdesac named the path located near the tram exit between The Hub and Cocina Chiwas “Lectric Avenue”. All information about this amazing area can be found on the official website.
