Electric bicycles or e-bikes are increasing in popularity in communities across the country.
New incentive programs and growth in e-bike options have made e-bike ownership more accessible. E-bikes can serve people with a wide range of physical abilities and make longer trips on bike more feasible. With the growth in the number of e-bikes in communities, there are increased needs for educating cyclists on safe use and increased demand for infrastructure for bicycles.
