Holiday Campaign Offers $200 Bonus for Trade-Ins Through December 24

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Upway, the global leader in professionally certified e-bikes and Aventon, the leading e-bike manufacturer in the U.S today announced a strategic partnership with the launch of the Aventon Re-Frame Program, powered by Upway, America’s largest e-bike trade-in initiative

This program, powered by Upway’s technology, is rolling out across 165 Aventon Signature Dealers nationwide, giving more than 200 million Americans the opportunity to trade-in their ebike at their local bike shop while upgrading to a new Aventon model.

To celebrate the launch, a holiday campaign will run from November 17 through December 24, offering riders a $200 bonus when trading-in an e-bike toward a new Aventon.

A simple and convenient way to upgrade your ride
The Aventon Re-Frame Program is designed to make upgrading to a new Aventon model straightforward and transparent. Consumers can bring their current e-bike to a participating dealer, receive an instant valuation using Upway’s real-time pricing tool, and apply the trade-in value toward a new Aventon purchase.

This is the largest program ever launched by Upway, which has powered tens of thousands of trade-ins globally since 2022. Upway manages the process for dealers by purchasing and handling logistics. Each bike is then rigorously refurbished through a 50-point inspection at Upway’s UpCenters in New York and Los Angeles and resold with a one-year warranty, aggressively extending their lifecycle and advancing the goal of putting 1 million e-bikes back on the road by 2030.

Partnering with Aventon, the leader in the U.S. e-bike market, underscores the strength and reliability of our service,” said Maxime Renson, General Manager USA at Upway. “Together, we’re expanding access to safe, high-performance e-bikes nationwide and driving progress toward a more sustainable mobility future.”

Supporting local dealers
The program also provides a powerful economic stimulus for the local bike economy by transforming traditional dealer challenges into opportunities. The Aventon Re-Frame Program is a guaranteed sales tool built specifically to support shops, giving them a simple way to take used e-bikes and turn this into guaranteed new sales. By driving in-store traffic, it ensures customers visit the shop, creating opportunities to sell accessories, other services and stimulates circular retail growth.

“We are excited to announce the Aventon Re-Frame Powered by Upway Program to make premium eBikes more accessible than ever,” said Malte Homeyer, Global Brand Director at Aventon. “This program ensures more riders can experience Aventon’s design and performance, while giving our bikes a second life. This is a win for the environment, a win for our customers looking to upgrade, and a significant win for our Signature Dealers.”

Aventon is committed to making premium e-mobility accessible through a robust online presence and a network of over 1,800 bike shops nationwide.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Kerry & Melinda Kirby Foundation in partnership with the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana, Inc. (NKFL), announced today their groundbreaking initiative, Ride with Kenny has received an Anthem Award for its pioneering program. The program enables social workers across Louisiana to schedule non-emergency medical transportation for patients who require dialysis—removing a major obstacle to care and helping some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens live healthier, more stable lives.

Presented by The Webby Awards, the Anthem Awards is the world’s leading social-impact award program, created to elevate the growing importance of social good in today’s cultural landscape. Now in its fifth year, the competition drew thousands of entries from 42 countries, honoring mission-driven work across health, human rights, the environment, responsible technology, and climate. This year’s honorees included global influencers such as Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton, and Katie Couric for their contributions sparking change around the world.

“This has been a challenging year for the impact sector, but the Winners of the 5th Annual Anthem Awards have shown their resilience and continued commitment to a better tomorrow,” said Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin. “This year’s winners are a source of hope, and I am excited to celebrate their work with the world today.”

Since launching in July 2024, Ride with Kenny has supplied more than 1,360 rides to roughly 680 patients—each one representing a lifeline to health, dignity, and hope. By preventing missed treatments, the program helps reduce hospitalization risk by up to 40% and mortality by as much as 25% (Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, June 2025). Funded by a multi-year grant from the Kerry & Melinda Kirby Foundation, the Ride with Kenny program delivers a crucial link to dialysis appointments through its collaboration with Uber Health for HIPAA-compliant rides.

“This award underscores the critical truth we see every day: access to reliable transportation saves lives,” stated Torie Kranze, CEO of the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana, Inc. “Ride with Kenny is transforming kidney care in Louisiana by ensuring patients never have to choose between getting to treatment and surviving. We are profoundly grateful to Kerry and Melinda Kirby for their extraordinary generosity and vision. Their commitment has not only made this program possible—it is delivering measurable, life-changing impact for families across our state.”

The Ride with Kenny initiative is a heartfelt tribute to Kenneth Fredrick Kirby, one of the first dialysis patients in Louisiana. Affectionately known as Kenny, he was a beloved son, devoted husband, and loving father to Kerry W. Kirby and Karen Kirby Lasseigne. Kenny proudly served in the United States Army and later joined the Louisiana State Police, where he carried out his duties with unwavering integrity and dedication. After a long and courageous battle with chronic kidney disease, the illness ultimately claimed his life at the young age of 33. His legacy now lives on through a mission that brings hope, healing, and access to care for others in need.

“We are deeply honored by this recognition,” said Kerry W. Kirby, philanthropist and co-founder of the Kerry & Melinda Kirby Foundation. “Ride with Kenny was born from a place of loss, love, and a determination to ensure no family faces the obstacles my father did. Melinda and I are truly grateful to the Anthem Awards for shining a light on this mission, and to the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana, Inc. team for being such extraordinary partners.”

About The Kerry & Melinda Kirby Foundation: Renowned entrepreneurs Kerry W. Kirby and Melinda M. Kirby are dedicated to supporting communities and causes, with a strong emphasis on humanitarian, educational, healthcare, and equality initiatives. Through the Kerry & Melinda Kirby Foundation, they provide resources to nonprofit organizations that drive progress and amplify the voices of those who are often not heard.

Challenges and Management Strategies 

High initial capital investment is the key challenge hampering the growth of the geothermal power market. As. compared to solar and wind projects, which have relatively lower upfront costs and shorter development timelines, geothermal projects require significant financial resources during the exploration and drilling stages. Identifying viable geothermal reservoirs involves extensive geological surveys, seismic studies, and test drilling, all of which are costly and time-consuming. In many cases, exploration does not guarantee success, and the risk of non-productive wells further discourages private investors from committing to large-scale geothermal development. The cost of drilling, which can reach several million dollars per well depending on depth and geological conditions, contributes heavily to the initial capital burden. In addition, building power plants and the necessary infrastructure for steam gathering and transmission adds further financial strain. These expenses often result in longer payback periods compared to other renewable energy technologies, which makes geothermal projects less attractive to investors who are looking for quicker returns. All these factors are expected to hamper the geothermal power market growth.
