Susanna Schick, E-motorcycle Contributor, Cleantechnica  

Susanna has been an avid motorcyclist since the age of 15 when she launched her Vespa into the bushes. She has since learned how to ride and even raced for a few years. She’s been covering the electric motorcycle industry on cleantechnica.com and others since 2009, and has owned a Zero FXS (or two) since 2013, as her primary vehicle. Her favorite cities are car-free, and she calls Barcelona home because the current mayor is working to make that happen.
