Bicycling is a healthy, fun and popular activity that gets harder with age. Electric bikes help people cycle longer and happier.

E-bikes improve mobility, transportation costs, air quality, and recreational access, especially for older adults -- who are the primary owners of e-bikes. Approximately 1 in 6 U.S. adults ages 50 and older own an e-bike; almost 90% of e-bike riders are 45 years or older. In Lebanon, nearly 40% of residents are ages 50 and up. E-bikes are a great fit for helping Lebanon's residents and visitors get around our city.

The E-Bike Project is working with the City of Lebanon to apply for grants to fund an e-bike charging station. This would be the first public e-bike charging station in the Upper Valley (with the next closest 26 miles away in Danbury) and also a much-needed covered bike parking facility.

Charging would be fee-free. Donations to the E-Bike Project would help install the charging station and cover the cost of electricity in order to benefit lower-income riders who cannot afford a car or don't have access to charging at home. Donations to the E-Bike Project also could help us explore the possibility of adding a second charging station, in West Lebanon, and support e-bike riding in other ways.

Please add your donation to help power an E-Bike Charging Station and advance e-bike riding in Lebanon!
