Electric Bicycle Workshop Offered by GetAbout Columbia

COLUMBIA, MO (August 20, 2014) - GetAbout Columbia, in partnership with Columbia Parks and Recreation, is offering a free presentation and demonstration on electric bicycles at the ARC (1701 W. Ash) from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, August 25. 

 

Electric bikes, also known as e-bikes or pedal-assist bicycles, are in high demand in European and Asian cities.  Cyclists in the United States are starting to pay attention to this global trend.  Electric bicycles are designed with a built-in motor that activates either by peddling or throttle assistance. 

 

Come to the workshop and see what the buzz is all about!  A short presentation and Q&A session will be followed by an opportunity for attendees to test ride a variety of styles.

 

Call GetAbout Columbia at 874-7460 for additional information.

 

Funding for GetAbout Columbia is provided by the Federal Highway Administration’s Non-Motorized Transportation Program.
