At MCBC, we support the many benefits of e-bikes in our community while working to mitigate some of the growing pains through the E-Bike Smart Marin program.
For the most current and reliable advice on your next e-bike purchase read our e-bike buyers guide.
As we all know, there has been a huge rise in e-bike usage in the last few years. In fact, from 2020 to 2021, e-bike sales nearly doubled, and the same level of increase is expected for 2022 (U.S. E-bike Sales Outpaced Electric Cars in 2021 – Bloomberg). This is revolutionizing the way people get around in our county. E-bikes provide alternative transportation to cars that expand riders’ mobility, emit no greenhouse gasses, and make riding the many hills of Marin accessible to a much wider range of people.
However, new vehicles on our roads and shared paths create new challenges. We have heard concerns from users of multi-use paths that some e-bike users are riding at unsafe speeds or not being respectful of others in those shared spaces.
