E-bike rental District of Saanich and Evolve’s new e-bike pay-per-minute or monthly plan system. Fifty Evolve e-bikes have been distributed throughout the District along primary trail networks and community hubs. The e-bikes are pedal-assisted, meaning the bikes work with the rider; the electric motor only kicks in when the rider pedals. The bikes do not exceed 25km/h, and will automatically slow down in designated ‘slow zones’. Currently, there are no drop off places in Victoria.
Please note in this picture above, the bike does not have its helmet in the basket. Many of the helmets are missing from the bikes.
