Bike Advocacy

in North Carolina

eBike Central is committed as part of its mission to supporting Bicycle Advocacy by donating financially and in-person to events that increase awareness around Bicycles, eBikes and Safer Riding. 

We have met with Governors, Senators, City Council Representatives, Urban Planners and Bicycle advocates to provide demonstrations on how Electric Bicycles or eBikes fit in with general bicycle use. Therefore, eBikes are entitled to the same infrastructure created for Bicycles. In this way, we are promoting a continued and increased development of infrastructure including bicycle lanes (especially protected lanes), pathways and greenways.

We believe that an increase in Safer Riding will exponentially increase bicycle use. This includes recreational but even more important the utility and transportation use of bicycles to reduce car traffic and emissions. 

The following are Bicycle Advocacy groups that we financially support through annual donations.
