We are super excited and priviledged to welcome Maria Bousted, Founder of Po Campo Bags to our She’s Electric Campaign. Maria and I met early on when we were both starting out with our businesses and I’ve been a big fan ever since. Maria is a strong cycling advocate, a talented business woman and designer and now an e-bike convert… Hurrah! Over to you Maria.
Tell us a bit about yourself?
I’m the Founder and CEO of Po Campo and we make bags that help you carry what you need on and off your bike with style and ease. I started the company when I couldn’t find a bag versatile enough to use on my bike commutes and then carry with me throughout the day. As an industrial designer, I knew I could create a better bag for me and all the people like me who were looking for gear to help them integrate biking into their daily lives. I currently live in New York City where I ride almost daily for transportation and for leisure.
What e-bike do you ride?
I ride a Gazelle Medeo T9
How did you get started on an e-bike and what was the experience like?
I bought my e-bike in mid 2020. We had moved from Brooklyn to Upper Manhattan, about 16 miles away, right before the pandemic. I didn’t feel comfortable with taking the subway to my studio and biking roundtrip…
