LITTLETON, Colo. — For Coloradans looking for a way to explore state parks on two wheels, the newly-launched e-bike rental program at Chatfield State Park is an option to not only ride around the reservoir but serves as a way to introduce people to e-bikes.
“It’s just a dollar for a day,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis during a Wednesday press conference.
While it costs $1 to rent there is an additional charge per minute.
“For some people, they can do that on a regular, traditional bicycle and for others, they will be able to enjoy it more with the assistance of an e-bike,”
Denver7 Riders need to download the Chat E-Bike app and then find the bikes at one of the hubs around Chatfield State Park.
Since its launch, Chat E-Bike riders have taken 387 trips at around 543 miles, according to the program. Riders need to download the Chat E-Bike app and then find the bikes at one of the hubs around Chatfield State Park. Visitors then scan a QR code on the bike to unlock and ride.
All bikes must be returned and locked up in a hub.
“We also know this can serve as a low-cost, one dollar a day way to introduce people to e-bikes,” said Polis. “It’s a safe way to learn how to use an e-bike and we hope it’s something you might want to consider for commuting to work back and forth in your everyday lives,”
Denver7 The pedal-assist bikes should run for around 30 to 40 miles on a charge and once they lose power, can still be used like a normal bike.
