Creating Equity in Transportation for Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs

PikeRide+ Leased eBike Program

PikeRide is excited to be able to provide trannsportation options by a grant from the Colorado Energy Office. Through a $25/month bike lease program, qualified persons who live in disproportionately impacted communities and earn less than 80% of the Area Median Income are provided access to their own PikeRide ebike and charger. This program provides all the benefits of a PikeRide electric assist bike, including access to an existing ebike community and PikeRide staff while having the ability to keep a PikeRide bike in your possession. This means you are not confined to the PikeRide service area, hubs, or end trip requirements.
