This workshop is offered both as an in-person lunch-and-learn at the Civic and virtually via Zoom.
E-bikes are here to stay, and with the right preparation, riding them can be safe and rewarding. The fact that they tend to be faster, offer powerful acceleration, and be heavier than standard bikes means that they require some additional know-how to operate safely.
That’s why we’re here – we’ll be your guides to everything you need to know to get the most out of your e-bike, whether it’s your own personal bike, or a BCycle bike share.
