The City of Burnaby is making it easier than ever for residents and visitors to get around without a car with the official launch of a new e-bike share program in partnership with Lime.
Starting today, a fleet of shared e-bikes will be available at designated parking and drop-off locations across the city. The program introduces a flexible, convenient and sustainable transportation option, supporting Burnaby’s continued efforts to encourage active transportation and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles.
“Burnaby is committed to making it easy for people to get around our city in more sustainable and flexible ways,” said Mayor Mike Hurley. “With more than 100 kilometres of protected bike lanes and multi-use pathways in Burnaby, we’re pleased to be able to offer another safe, easy way to explore our community and choose active transportation.”
The e-bike share program builds on Burnaby’s growing active transportation network. Residents and visitors can use the Lime app to locate, unlock and pay for e-bikes, offering a convenient option for short trips, commuting or exploring parks within the designated service area in Burnaby.
“Lime Canada is proud to partner with the City of Burnaby to launch its first e-bike share program and give residents and visitors an affordable, flexible, and sustainable way to get around,” said Carling Dick, Senior Director of National Government Relations, Lime Canada. “This program will connect neighbouring cities across Metro Vancouver, making it easier for more people to choose active transportation for everyday trips.”
The introduction of shared e-bikes supports the City’s transportation and climate goals by expanding access to low-carbon travel options and encouraging mode shift for everyday trips. The program also provides an opportunity for new riders to try e-bikes and for regular cyclists to enjoy added flexibility when travelling throughout Burnaby.
