E-Bike Share Program Launching 6 Locations Throughout The Village Of Cumberland

Cumberland residents will soon have another way to get around the Village and Comox Valley.

BCAA’s Evolve is launching its public e-bike share service in Cumberland for the first time, with 6 new locations, making it easier, the Village says in a news release, for locals and visitors to literally get on their bike and explore more of the Village and other communities within the Comox Valley.

The new Cumberland locations are Cumberland Village Park, Village Square, First and Dunsmuir, Forest Hall Road, Solport, and Bruce Street & Coniston Crescent.

Mayor Vicky Brown says the e-bikes offer a seamless connection across Cumberland and local communities.

Evolve’s Leanne Buhler says the region has a strong commitment to active transportation, and it’s “great to support their progressive thinking” with a public e-bike share for safe, accessible and fun trips within and between communities.

E-bikes can be accessed via the Evo app on iOS or Android. Riders simply unlock the bike using their smartphone and go.

Helmets are included, and pricing includes pay-per-minute and monthly plans.

BCAA first launched Evolve in Courtenay and Comox in May last year and continues to expand its services across the region.

It recently added 30 more e-bikes bringing the total fleet to 100, while adding seven new locations including Comox Valley Sports Centre and Comox Valley Curling Centre.

In addition to Cumberland and the Valley, Evolve also serves Nanaimo and Langford on the Island, and Whistler, Squamish and Vancouver’s North Shore region on the mainland.
