EZ Bike Project

E-bikes are fun to ride. They get you where you are going quickly, without the hassle of sweat, special clothes, or parking challenges.

• Can you make an e-bike your daily driver?
• Can haul your work gear and groceries?
• Can you take the kiddos to school?

The EZBike Project will help you answer these questions and more!

• Save Money – With an e-bike, you will save money by reducing car trips. Fewer miles means less cost in maintenance and repair for your vehicle. You might even discover you can live car-free, saving thousands of dollars annually. You will also save money on health care for making healthy life choices!
• Experience the Magic – Once you step onto an electric bike you are guaranteed a smile. Biking allows you to move about your community in a friendly way.
• Improve your Health – You will get outside and move more with an e-bike!
• Reduce your Footprint – Transportation is the top contributor to greenhouse gases. Be a part of the solution in your community.
• Reduce Traffic Congestion – Picture the space needed for 60 cars. Now image 60 bikes in that space!
• Find Parking – Cyclists get the best parking!

• OVERNIGHT STORAGE – You must store bikes in a locked, indoor location. Most e-bikes in the fleet are heavier than standard bikes, so they won’t be able to go upstairs.
• HELMET – You must have or borrow a helmet and use it while riding your borrowed e-bike
• LOCKS – We provide an ABUS lock and Kryptonite cable that you must use.
• TRACKING – All e-bikes have a GPS tracker. Do not remove it.
• KIDS SEATS – For certain e-bikes, you will have the option to use 1 or 2 kids seats that hold up to 45 pounds each. Let us know if you are interested, and we’ll put these on at pick-up.
• CARGO – When carrying heavy items, be sure to balance the weight on both sides of the bike to prevent wobbly and sketchy riding.

Try out an e-bike at one of our pop-up, group ride, or take home events – coming soon to a breakroom or neighborhood near you! Contact us at info@trafficsolutions.org to inquire about borrowing our e-bike loaning library for your employees.
