Non-profit program PikeRide offers e-bike leasing program following grant funding

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – The Colorado Energy Office is granting funding to the non-profit organization PikeRide, to offer low-cost access to leased e-bikes. 

According to the Colorado Energy Office, 50 electric bikes will be available for use for low and moderate income individuals to lease for $25 a month, starting in July. 

Participants will receive their own PikeRide e-bike, a charger and accessories, and access to an e-bike community and Pike Ride staff for maintenance and support. 

The leasing opportunity will also allow another user to use the e-bike service should the initial participant move away or choose to stop using the service for any reason. 

This new program, the Colorado Energy Office states, is called PikeRide + (PikeRide Plus) and it will increase the opportunity for more people to access PikeRide so individuals aren’t restricted to a service area, ride time, or hubs for transportation.
