These unusual vehicles combine electric bike components with a car's protective body, windshield and other systems. A great example a velomobile or minicar is the PEBL from Better Bike, a Massachusetts-based company that's trying to popularize these environmentally-friendly, fun-to-use alternatives to the car.

Americans are generous. In 2018, for example, it was estimated that as a nation, Americans gave more than $427 billion to charities. 

As impressive as that number is, when adjusted for inflation, it actually represents a slight decline in giving, according to a 2019 Giving USA report.

What’s more, it may be the case that while the total amount of donations is rising, the number of individuals giving may be down slightly. There are certainly many factors that impact why and how folks donate, but could part of the problem be that the act of giving — entering a payment card, finding the proper branch of the charity, and ensure the donation is processed properly — is too complex.

This is the problem that Givz hopes to address. The company provides a platform to facilitate giving. There specialty is in letting businesses give customers “Givz Cash” that can be used to donate to any registered charity in the United States. 

For this episode of The Electric Bike Podcast from EVELO, you will hear from Andrew Forman, Givz’ CEO.
