We CREATE EBIKE LENDING PROJECTS
WHO?
Companies, municipalities, school districts, bike and environmental agencies, and any other organization concerned with sustainability can co-create an e-bike lending system. Together we can create something that will have serious local and environmental impact.
Let's get started!
Why?
Multi-day loans and showcase test rides provide a real sense of the difference it makes to commute, carry cargo, haul kids or simply run errands using an e-bike. When people experience the difference electric assist makes they start to consider an electric bike as a means of transportation. To appeal to people who haven’t ridden a bike in a long time, or simply have limited urban cycling experience, gaining confidence increases their motivation to add an e-bike to their transportation options. Additionally, for those who are physically challenged an e-bike is often their only option for personalized & sustainable mobility.
How?

Shift the Transportation Mindset
It's imperative that every city, company and organization widely promote the use of e-bikes in order to make progress towards our climate goals to reduce and eliminate emissions, achieve safe streets, healthier communities, and reduce traffic congestion.
To do so we MUST shift our transportation modes away from single occupancy vehicles. A community e-bike lending program gives people a new experience and opens their minds to new possibilities. Through lending projects participants ride, receive bike education and inspiration, get route assistance and learn about rebates and incentives. Since most car trips are under 5 miles, it's critical that we find ways to help people to make the shift. We must reach those who don't see themselves as "cyclists".
