Electric bicycles have exploded onto the scene as one of the most popular new forms of transportation in the United States and around the world. E-bikes increase mobility options, alleviate traffic congestion, enhance public health and reduce carbon emission. They are also the subject of controversy and misunderstanding as citizens and governments struggle to identify appropriate rules and regulations to ensure safe use.  

So what should you ride, and how should we regulate? At this event, speakers Damian Kevitt, executive director of Streets Are for Everyone, and Ross Pringle, instructor at Pomona College and communications director of Claremont Streets for People, will describe the different types of e-bikes and how these differ from electric motorcycles. They’ll review options for sensible public policy to take advantage of the e-bike revolution.

This event is sponsored by Claremont Streets for People, Sustainable Claremont, and Harvey Mudd College’s Hixon Center for Climate and the Environment

The Wayne ’73 and Julie Drinkward Recital Hall is located at the lower level of the R. Michael Shanahan Center for Teaching and Learning, Harvey Mudd College.
