E-bikes, scooters and shared micromobility

updated those requirements again in 2025 to require additional consideration uh for larger cargo bikes and ebike charging

those bikes are used more as transit and getting to work, getting to school

are we putting bait ebikes out because those have a much intrinsically higher value

we already have kids running around with their ebikes and you have all this traffic that's going on

in the Bcycle app or something like if you're going from here to here

you guys could also partner with Bcycle um with a bike share program

Boulder County trails do include signage that designate which class of e-bikes are allowed

they go online and buy it and not knowing it's actually a motorcycle versus an ebike.

we are uh continuing to deal with this almost every day. Um thankfully we have not had more serious crashes.

they had a concern about only 11 charging spots for ebikes

Did staff have any input on the location of the BCycle station

a lime grove for lime scooters, uh bumpouts for pickup and drop off

thinking really extending our our thoughts about um micromobility and I'm not suggesting pedicaps

You're gonna teach me the e-bike thing, though.

or maybe, like, e-bike batteries, or, like, vehicle-to-grid charging methodologies for electric vehicles

Key updated features include an e-scooter corral adjacent to the multi-use path.

locating an e-scooter corral or lime grove on our site adjacent to the multi-use path.

the long-term bike parking will accommodate a variety of bike styles, including cargo and e-bikes.

is when I ride my ebike at very high speeds

and micromobility and to me that doesn't make sense

I guess I'm always curious just on where we are with expanding our Our, our bike, our bike options?

a safer experience for people that are maybe moving through at speed on scooters and bikes.

and also looking at multimodal and micromobility options.

does bike encompass bike and e-bikes? Like, that's not clear, I guess.

we have a dedicated B-cycle spot that they want to put their facilities in, and a lime grove.

like the infrastructure improvements we talked about, micro-mobility enhancements, the relocated bus stop along the frontage road.

a new B-cycle station in Lime Grove. E-scooter parking would be added near the bus stop.

had a chance to talk with some staff employees about my e-bike.

I don't feel great trying to take my ebike or my bike downtown

And just, is that also how the… micromobility legislation was created, or was it state first, or what

like they did Lime scooters, you know, seeing them kind of come, you know, the scooter revolution happening

We have also added language to address e-bikes and micromobility devices

we're going to have e- scooters and bicycle stations and car share

But the ebike regulations were something that were asked previously by council

encompass even preliminary research on um ebike regulation

Will bikes be allowed? Will scooters be allowed?

On the e-bike emoto questions, we already asked staff to create a memo about the landscape

I think, yeah, two things dealing with bikes and e-bikes

if you get the, you know, bike and micromobility storage done well at those bus stops, then the catchment areas for those stops could grow substantially

One of the trends I see, right, the analysis and the imagery and everything here suggests primary dependence on B-cycle and Lime scooters.

And then, as I mentioned, B-Cycle and Lime, they provide an important and really important connection to those transit services.

E-bike, safety. Looking at, residential vacancy tax, looking at, accelerating efforts to address commercial vacancies

Clear signage about which e-bikes are allowed. That's what I thought.

So we want to encourage, of course, the use of two-wheeled, electric devices, as long as they're street legal and okay for young people to ride.

we're kind of focusing all of our Lime Scooters, it's right by the bus station

The B-cycle docking stations will be to the southeast.

E-scooters and B-cycle, they're in all along the

microobility features including a bicycle share and longboard program available to both residents and employees

the applicant has to provide an additional 15% of the required bike parking spaces

we'll have one path that's for the bicycles and and ebikes and those

to support measures to ensure that ebikes and micromobility devices are safely integrated into the transportation system

an understanding of the most recent severe crash trends, emerging trends related to e-bikes and e-scooters

And another new thing to note here is that nearly all e-bike crashes occurred with a vehicle.

In terms of the e-bike and e-scooter trends, those were stated in the memo and are reiterated here.

the concern that I have which is really about ebikes, scooters, uh electric skateboards and other conveyances of that nature.

Bike hubs, and that doesn't have to just be bike parking for also e-bike charging, bike computer share

if someone comes in on the bus, they can easily get a B-Cycle scooter

what what the city can regulate and what is left to the state

the hospital has reported an escalation in injuries

a request for a DOT of three to conduct research regarding ebike and ecooter regulations

But they're being, you know, ridden against traffic, in the street, on the sidewalk, a bunch of places that get abandoned

The question specifically came about with the Lime scooters.

I think they should have a program, get a license to ride an e-bike.

Really getting clarity on the micromobility, that was another thing on the list

especially with people on the micromobility devices that we have

robust bike parking, scooter parking, rideshare opportunities we have marked here with the M's

which is a request for not of three to conduct research regarding ebike and e- scooter regulations

We want to make sure that people can charge their bikes

the e-bikes are kind of laid out differently. Yeah, I'll probably defer to the applicant on that

I'm seeing, 6 cargo bike cages in the middle of the 2 to 5th floor. Are those e-bike ready?

one around the e-bikes and cargo bikes, and one around asking for an active use

That means it has a place to plug in, or that means that it is on the ground

Including a bicycle share and longboard program that will be available to both residents and employees

can you explain how the B cycle and the lime scooters are they are a part of this, right?

with our BCycle system uh which is uh electric uh assist bicycles and with our e scooter program

I was curious if there had been any considerations for ebikes and scooters

And then the Lime Scooters, adding that to a transportation process.

is having the individual ownership bicycles and scooters and other devices

grab a B-Cycle, or a Lime scooter, or pick up their bike from the bike shelter, or walk to where they're going.

increase access to microtransit, micromobility options, you know, scooters and e-bikes and all the things.

observed just an incred incredible increase of our ebikes all around town

urge you to strengthen and actively enforce the rules in Boulder around ebikes, particularly for our teens

the speaker who brought some suggestions about um ebikes

I would love to see some dollars being available for more people to get bikes

It'll be interesting to see how all that is addressed on our bike trails

electric cars, bikes, and scooters are much more prevalent, and the updated plan

we've got this explosion of ebikes and this whole kind of range of tiny two wheel vehicles

But maybe some of them want a Lime membership instead. I don't know, are there Lime memberships?

we've got Lime scooters that we're, utilizing, and then also the connectivity to the tunnel that accesses campus here

want, so a B-Cycle membership, Lime scooter rides, anything like that to go.

You mentioned Lime, B-Cycle. This will be just, like, coupon codes, like gift cards

Eco Passes for the family, bike share memberships, Lime credits, car share memberships, car share credits.

that allows for the storage of larger bicycles, cargo, bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters

we would love to see a lot more horizontal versus vertical bike space

Is there a way for us to have multi mobility hubs for biking infrastructure for scooter infrastructure

now people are like hiding scooters in their juniper trees, which they also shouldn't have in their front lines.

let's say the 5% um ebike charging availability. I think that is really not enough, but it doesn't really have to do with

at least 5% of those need to have um the ability to be charged location near an outlet so that ebikes can be charged

It's now illegal to sell or market a vehicle as an E-bike. If it doesn't meet the State's definitions

So 1st defined in 2017, Colorado continues to recognize 3 classes. Class one, which is pedal, assist up to 20 miles per hour.

So in response to this House Bill 1197 was passed to ensure that there's a clear distinction between e-bikes and other electric vehicles

I think your site design could also more credibly meet. Transportation needs with additions like infrastructure for micromobility

students are a great target population for car share bikes and scooters

I'm hoping that one of my other board members might make some motions around those particularly around charging for e-bikes.

unsuitable for e-bikes and cargo bikes, and they also have maintenance challenges.

sounds like number 2 was like e-bikes and lime scooters.

I think it's like 19% of bikes out there now that that would be the floor

e-bikes are far and away, the dominant type of bike being sold right now

for example, e-bikes and e-bike charging. So that's in the ordinance. There's a requirement for e-bike charging.

I see a proposed location for a mobility hub, which could include like an e-bike station or scooters or car share spots.

The final plans shall be revised to show a long-term bike parking area that provides weather protection horizontal parking and charging infrastructure for e-bikes.

I think support for cargo bikes and e-bikes and that kind of thing is going to be pretty important.

We've just ordered 3 more e-bikes that you'll see on the hill in downtown.

the vertical ones are very difficult for heavy bikes and ebikes and so we've built that into the program.

the ebike parking in particular as a ebike owner.

help connect certain kinds of transit with micromobility and a more robust pet and bike network

a young person, maybe young high school or middle school on a class 3 e-bike coming up to the intersection

It's kind of like bike scooters, those little one wheel things electric skateboards.

One of the newest things we started tracking is the use of e-bikes or e-scooters, whether they're private or shared.

my team is talking with Lime to try, including their scooter devices in the Tdm. District benefits

we've seen the proliferation of new types of bikes. Specifically, e-cargo bikes are a lot different

access to the property's bike share fleet, which will include e-bikes.

we've started to purchase e-bikes for those officers which is huge, huge benefit response.

Yeah, we started tracking e-bikes. And so when someone said they made a trip on a bike, we asked them.

the transportation infrastructure that will make e-bike usage and scooter usage and other things more realistic on a regular basis.

you know, lime scooters and B cycle station and other real incentives.

additionally ebikes we have spent so much money $250,000 as part of the vision zero project for these new bike Lanes

in January more than 50% of the bikes stolen were ebikes we've seen that Trend since last fall

We're providing electric scooter parking. There's electric bike parking, trying to give plenty of places

there's been a lot more adoption of like cargo bikes and e-bikes and things like that

as is written in the code is, does not address many of the issues that make e-bikes a real tool to reduce single vehicle traffic movements

as well as powered micr Mobility devices I want to be clear this really is only a commercial requirement

I can envision someone wanting to jump on a lime scooter to get down to the movie theaters quickly.

Was there any thought to having a scooter like a lime grove or some kind of scooter share station?

But that's also where we have things like the shared scooters, the shared cargo wagons.

shared E-scooters with an average of 1,950 trips per day

shared e-bike trips over the past 16 months have removed approximately 440,000 vehicle trips from Boulder streets

Today I'll be sharing with you an update on the city shared micromobility program.

we just haven't gotten to that point to talk to be cycle or lime, but we certainly know that

and the increase of E-scooters and e-bikes are growing

the new section that was added to the international fire code that addresses the micro mobility devices specifically exempts residential uses of micro mobility devices

our almost exclusive focus on bikes and Es scooters and public transit which we don't really have

we can make sure that we are accommodating the types of bikes that are more common these days like cargo bikes and ebikes

pass the B cycle, which is our electric community bike share system

bike safe, predictable, well located bike parking that accommodates e-bikes and trailers is absolutely essential

accommodating the larger bikes as well as accommodating e-bike charging

So the idea is A B cycle station. Not a scooter station.

plus the additional 20, more or less that will be planned at the E-bike station at the end of the trail.

because that's going to be hard for people to lift their e-bike onto, especially for seniors.

my ebike has taken me 5,000 miles in 4 years for a total of 20 bucks of electricity

we're also trying to navigate, you know, having a you know, lime scooter area for that last mile connectivity

mobility piece, the the micro modes, the scooters, the E-bikes skating, whatever it is.

a lightweight bike that you can lift up onto a hanging bike rack

doesn't address the needs of folks that can't lift a heavy e-bike

Did you do any contact with Boulder B cycle about micro mobility stations at your facility

there's a difference between ebikes and road bikes or more traditional bikes and um I'm hopeful that our policy framework

what you'll also see in the deck is a deep dive on ebike the last month um what we've seen

there's not only an increase in bike thefts but also increasing bike value per bike stolen

So currently, it is 100% electric pedal assist. There's no throttle on these bikes.

Is that specifically on B cycle. You just said, like they should have more reliable options.

places for scooters places for um big cargo ebikes places for bike shares

we're providing um spaces for cargo bikes right big spaces

think about the future of biking being a lot of ebikes and cargo bikes

we are purchasing some more e-bikes to get more of our mall team onto those bikes

But then we added e-bikes, which made a huge difference.

provision of luner ebikes and traditional bikes for hotel guests

do you have any sort of partnership with bcycle in the application

they had indicated that they had seen an uptick in bike ebike and Scoot e scooter injuries

the community is starting to really lean in and get interested on how to secure their bikes better and ebikes while enjoying the Fantastic paths

combining that with bike, share, micro mobility, access

We do get some really great data through our partnership with Lime and B cycle

B cycle memberships, lime memberships. Those are great Tdm tools for neighborhoods

And I'm also curious about the location of nearby transit stops and bike share facilities.

So I think that it would be good for you in terms of a selling point for your units to have more e-bike parking.

I'm especially concerned about e-bike parking. I do think that e-bikes are the future

and a lime scooter grove at the corner of 26 and spruce

There's a scooter station provided on site. There's bicycle parking, I mean.

We're not assuming much overlap between lines, scooters.

I'm not sure where the lime groves are in walnut current. because it talks about the cycle.

So the we have not seen lime as a separate private entity. Outside of

So currently there's one 13 do B cycle station at Alpine uh between Broadway and 13th three more are proposed

within a mandatory parking Zone we create what we call lime Groves which are designated areas typically with a painted rectangle

I know that the mobility Hub has areas for um lime scooters and this I know it's a little bit of an education

I also forgot to talk about ebike Chargers so I just want to throw that in

we learned that Boulder B cycle has announced an acquisition with Bts, which I believe is bicycle transportation systems

$78,000 for increased ongoing funding to advance shared micromobility efforts including programmatic Outreach

There are 2 main types of e-bikes that will be eligible for the incentive

And then there's e-bikes and e-scooters to consider which are going very fast

especially considering we have larger format cargo bikes and ebikes and that should be a same part of the conversation

I hope you've seen the difference with our bike controls, our E bikes.

The lined scooter situation seems to be going smoothly now, which is a big relief.

I've noticed a lot more folks using ebikes to commute because you can come in farther

you mentioned non-motorized vehicles. So with the advent of page 62 of the packet, with the advent of ebikes, etc.

as ebikes are becoming more available both financially and to various you know, physical body types

300,000 will support the continuation of the ebike program for 2024 that was onetime funded in 2023

specific question about E Scooters and you know council member I appreciate

and then leave campus and just see these E Scooters thrown about

the ebikes have a little bit different nuance and so um we are uh right now our officers that are on the ebikes

Possibly participation with scooters. What's so great about having all this local shopping

The proposal provides an E. Scooter parking pad designed for use with Lyme E. Scooters to encourage last mile connections

Glad to hear that the month Scooter situation it is better than anticipated.

I just really haven't seen scooters left in the middle of sidewalks anymore for a couple of weeks.

I'm asking the city suspend this program immediately and review it and consider reinstatement only if they work with the company

allowed that lime scooter uh company to expand the program from the center to the entire entire perimeter

one aspect that is taking away significantly from boulders beauty is the green lime scooters that are

The notion was put out about ebikes. There are the E shut. There are the E scooters.

I know there are specific um regulations around the engine size. I think if it's 50cc and up on the engine

to address safety and courtesy for all microobility users with an emphasis on electric mobility

Last year, we initiated a shared micromobility safety and courtesy education campaign in tandem with the citywide expansion of shared escooters

we had over 700,000 shared ebite trips last year, which is pretty impressive.

Over the years of the micro mobility program, we've had safety messaging and education.

reducing the maximum E scooter speed in the downtown area from 12 miles per hour to 10 miles per hour.

How are locations for new B cycle stations chosen? Is that something that can be integrated into a project?

We will have a roll down garage as the entrance. charging for ebikes as well as sufficient parking for cargo bikes

As well as the ability to use ebikes and larger bike racks for cargo bikes.

perhaps scooters. But I think I don't know. I think, yeah, because you have tripping over.

there's no consequences for dropping a scooter in the middle of the sidewalk

Lime has ordered the materials they are going to be putting in, you know the paint and everything.

The bicycle mode share also, and for this at this time contains E-bike and E scooter data.

They have bike share memberships. Now, we're seeing the use of lime scooters, you know.

students love like the lime scooter stuff they use it a lot

we're excited about bike programs we're excited about ebike programs we're excited about car share programs

we're eagerly awaiting the creation of these corral's that should maybe remove some of the the scooters that litter our sidewalks

Friendly options, including, you know, pedestrians, scooters, bicycles

require the electrification for charging of automobiles versus a broader range of vehicles, bikes, micro mobility

I wonder if, with the change of the definitions, the ev requirements would apply to ebikes which which don't quite fit in

Council direct staff to incorporate a change of the definition of electric vehicles to include e-bikes and other micro mo mobility options.

The conversation around E. Scooters or e-bikes. Has been a little more loop warm, that there's this concern

where Moorhead meets twenty-seventh, serves a variety of of bike and scooter trips

Moorhead is also a key connector for local and regional bike and scooter trips

maybe that's a electric car subsidy, or continuing the the E-bike subsidy that you mentioned.

The ability for all community members, not just those that can afford include actually in this would also be the the subsidy for electric scooters.

Will that charging be in the garage? And will it be in a secured bike storage area where heavier, longer e-bikes can both be managed

And I I'm not sure how your Tdm plan really addresses either the parking situation or the encouragement to live. Using bike e bike pedestrian transit

bikeways micromobility and improvements and um I'm sorry that uh he and others have experienced an issue with

I saw in the news with Denver having issues with someone who is on a line scooter who hit someone

to come up with a plan to ensure that the scooters are put in the right place

We have been working really hard for the last 3 months to get the city to address the problem of line scooters on the hill.

for individuals who are choosing a lime scooter as a mode of travel to at least depart Boulder Junction.

We can see the Boulder Junction riders which would essentially be the amount of people who initiated a trip in Boulder Junction

lime is aggressively advertising for part time positions for people to go and pick up these abandoned scooters

Talked about the shut off times, and it doesn't seem like people are doing this late night

Take pictures of the abandoned scooters everywhere on all the residential streets

Are we also looking at where line scooter users and the cycle users want to go?

There's a tipping point and this really makes a difference. I'm talking about ebikes instead of cars.

the lime scooter access will want to control and manage parking identify areas for lime Groves

they they would like lime scooters to be allowed to park there well lime scooters the parkto park shuttles B cycle

we are looking at how do we provide lime scooter access and also dedicated uh parking area AKA or lime Groves

O over 80% of ebike crashes that have been reported since 2,016 have involved an e-bike with a vehicle

e bike crashes relative to all bike crashes are at 20.8% based on the data reported so far in 2023

that in 2016, through 2022, the number of E-bike crashes each year ranged from one to 6

we have a lot more ebikes on paths and there's a you know just a lot

some major advancements in connectivity between Uber and Zip cars and scooters and B bikes

Battery power D bikes and battery scooters for last mile connectivity

bike or scooter share, ebike charging, cargo bike storage, on-site car share

and so what happened is that that didn't happen, that that slow zone is not that big.

in regards to the lime scooters. In the past 2 days I've gotten comments from some different business owners.

And so I move that we change 9 B. Lyme emer scooter to the staff to become oh.

we're looking at providing lime, scooter access and dedicated line scooter parking

I think a lot of people learn not to bike and scooter and use a scooter because they don't like

we've talked about a lot in terms of the speed and ebikes and things like that

do you know how much control we would have over like ebike station placement?

have we gotten in response or feedback of the was it September first food. Scooters were like everybody's.

We'll also have no parking zones where users are not allowed to park their E scooter.

And we are we do require lime to to rebalance the the scooters to have a certain number within these zones.

So under the umbrella of this micro mobility program in Boulder we currently have Boulder B cycle, which are electric bikes

Broadway as it heads if you're heading north on Broadway, going up and cresting the hill

One of the slow zones proposed in Uni Hill would be Thirteenth Street, where we would want to have a slow zone.

and on average, we had the scooters used about 1.5 times per day

there's a number of new equity zones as we've gone from our pilot area into the city wide.

I just want to give you an update on the lime scooter expansion plan, which is happening very soon.

So we have mandatory parking zones kind of all around the downtown basically from spruce down to Arapaho

we feel that those will increase even more with our access to scooter share

we also know that students have eco-passes, and they have the bike share program

scooters are allowed on all our multi-use path systems. they are only allowed on sidewalks

when a scooter user enters the jail fenced area that is a mandatory parking zone

city staff presented to City Council on January fifth our evaluation of the Lyme scooter pilot

There will also be charging stations for E bikes, and to be cycle station with 8 bikes was recently added.

These scooters and other micro mobility devices.

e-bikes are everywhere now and so what we really want to do is take that into strong consideration

More car sharing maybe having a scooter location, scooter rentals, something more innovative

allowing e-bikes on open space Trails would not require a charter Amendment

a majority vote of no to e-bikes on open space was given

for the discussions surrounding e-bikes which was the agenda topic the night that I excused myself

working with our vendors to provide spaces for for bike and scooter parking

you talked about electric bike charging a and I'm curious. Just again. I'm ignorant here my personal experience with electric bikes

BMA believes that e-bikes are compatible with passive Recreation

I just bought an e-bike to Tool around Boulder

they did a pilot and they allowed uh people to try e-bikes

if you want to manage scooter parking and not have the clutter, which is usually one of the number One complaints

the expansion of of our E scooter program, and looking at, Where do we effectively park these scooters?

Would there be any on 5 options for e bike charging? I think that we absolutely have the infrastructure for that

some items are focusing on safety for kids traveling to and from school. E. Bikes, speed management and regulations.

when we looked at other cities that had incentive programs, whether they were for e bikes or other offerings

when you're developing the E Bike incentive program because we talked a lot last night

Voucher recipients will have the option to receive a starter kit voucher to purchase safety equipment

This summer the city of Boulder will offer a financial incentive to residents to expand access to E bikes in boulder.

But could we somehow prioritize those people who say that they would be moving from like a gasoline to an E bike.

how do you plan to optimize participation in the survey is for the surveys going to be sent out relatively soon after people get the E-bikes

I would encourage the applicant to look into things like a bike share program

Have you considered having any kind of onsite bike share program like having b cycle have a station there

So we are working on a city of boulder version of that, and it's separate from the State Bill.

If Staff has any update on work about a. An E bike incentive, you know, or rebate program.

We've got like it's scooter parking passenger loading it kind of that that activation.

and then we have tap you back on a can update that will probably be more like June, and then our E. Bike, Rebate pilot

allow electric scooters in town. Some of the city council people did not know much about electric scooters

anything that's um micro Mobility I think will be very integrated into this project

what is your plan for how the bicycles and the e-bikes are going to be stored like what mechanism

providing lots of gear storage and places for people to put toys e-bikes bikes inside the units

e-bikes and stations and I don't want to speak for you but like bus routes and things like that

where to possibly allow e-bikes on certain segments of open space

we are doing an assessment on eBay e-bike use on open space

we're working on expanding our shared micro Mobility across the city

there's also the desire to include some bike share. Do you anticipate that being a private fleet special to this development?

We're also providing a bike share program for residents with trailer and basket options and approximately 10 bikes

I just got a new e bike in the summer. I'm very excited.

the governor's package that they are proposing and have been shopping to a few people include um include e-bikes

whether that's e bikes, or commuter bikes or bikes for recreation

although no crashes have been recorded between people using Shady scooters and pedestrians during the pilot program

200 e-scooters were deployed through a demand base cap formula live now has 300 e-scooters operating in East Boulder

the shared micro Mobility Program which consists of both e-bikes and e-scooters

Appreciate the mindfulness to the growing use of electric bikes and scooters

providing charging for ebay's in a secure bicycle storage room because ebikes are heavy

the speed it which those e bikes are moving on

City Council is gonna follow up on the shared micro mobility update.

Here are tips to stay safe on your bicycle on your e bike.

we don't want to discourage the use of bicycles and e bikes particularly class one and 2 E bikes

one of them was a hidden one, involving an an E bike and a 14 year old.

including e-bikes e-scooters e-skate boards any other motor-powered device devices that are powered by throttle

the scooter involved is similar to the lime rental scooters around the city

I think the big change, I think, in the last few years has been with the E bikes

we would love to provide some sort of bike share or kind of uh

There is a bike share program that the um operator is going to provide for

we included shared e scooters as part of our overall share micro mobility programs

This is the the major issue with the whole program that it's inherent to the dockless model.

So the fact that you just have these E scooters that are like left in lanes and so forth

It's evident that you scooters provide a faster means to get to a destination over walking

There also seems to be an equal split of people enjoying the recreational value of these scooters

before we initiated the shared E. Scooter pilot program Staff identified several criteria by which we would measure

So again, if you're on an e scooter and you've come through downtown, and you're ready to park it.

Can lime be charged a higher rate for scooters that are not put away.

shared micro mobility is one of those and when I say shared micro mobility, we're thinking about those rental ebikes

Each of the scooters have a swappable battery at this point, which is is more efficient.

They're here to talk to you about micro mobility, or, in other words, scooters.

i'm not aware of any E-bike providers with a commercial use permit in that park

Oh, transportation. You know the line Scooters. Well, in my culture we don't go places by ourselves.

a public hearing and tab recommendation on the value and evaluation on the next steps regarding the Zip program

in recent years we've seen how transformative e bikes can be, and I think there's a big opportunity here

about whether it be ebike program or Wildlife or Wildfire resiliency

like the e-bike rebate program that we were talking about

band pool or maybe e-bikes that can operate outside of the RTD hours

we're thinking we would start with probably about a 500 000 program just

i know council discussed this a little ways back with is with regards to funding an e-bike

I think those would probably require some pretty clear direction from Council to implement something like an e bike program

exercise we went through which we basically all well more or less, there was a consensus that this be great to do to get funding

about potentially doing an e bike rebate program pilot this year

the data which i've i share with transportation staff show people are replacing considerable number of car trips with e-bikes

we believe e-bikes will be a game changer for boulder especially for those with longer road trips

so i do love my e-bike so much but i don't know that i want to do that to you

So that allows folks to treat a stop sign as a yield so that a person riding a bicycle or a scooter

This new State law allows bicyclist and users of other low speed conveniences as the law calls it

Change switched over to e bikes it was like some dramatic increase in ridership

e-bikes through our micro-mobility program and lastly our continued focus on building out high quality infrastructure to improve safety

as part of our shared micro mobility program the electrification of our shared bike fleet has been a game changer

getting people to do bike shares but also driving electric cars and looking at electric bikes and all that stuff

micro mobile or it's not micro mobility but what am i trying to say scooter sharing

micro mobility access is somewhat limited we've been able to work with some of the restaurants

there have been some witnesses of scooters and motorized vehicles still operating within the boundaries

My bike and scooter parking I think that that's a huge

to the extent we're doing bike sharing a bike sharing any bike Rentals in the city

For micro mobility parking short term curbside pickup also ranked highly

it makes using a bicycle or a scooter or others, you know small and motorized device easier and more efficient

For a person outside of a motor vehicle for a cyclist someone on a scooter one of these, you know rideshare scooters

a voucher to get e-bikes and so it's a way to sort of meet them where they are

you grab you know, an electric scooter and you take it

where people can easily travel by bike foot scooter high frequency transit

we're doing things like piloting shared electric scooters and bicycles

the pandemic has led to skyrocketing sales of e-bikes up 240 percent uh this past year alone
