Bikeshare VS Bike Rental
Breck E-Ride is an electric bikeshare program that enables people to make quick trips around town without needing to use a car. The program uses a "hub-to-hub" model, meaning you must start and end your trips at one of the designated hub locations indicated on the system map.
If you are looking to ride outside of Breckenridge, or go for longer (>30 minutes) recreational ride, we recommend you rent a bike from one of the local bike shops in Town. See below for a comparison of the two use-cases:Bikeshare

How it works

Release
Tap Scan and scan the QR code on the handlebar.
Ride
Remove the lock tether and secure it to the hook under the seat. Put on your helmet and enjoy the ride. Rides must stay within the service area (Breckenridge town limits).
Park
Park correctly at one of the designated hubs within the service area, which are easily found using the map in the app. Sessions can only be ended at a designated hub location.
Return
To end your ride, lock your bike at one of the designated Breck E-Ride racks. Use the tether to secure the bike to the rack and loop it over the lock. Secure the lock and then use the app to end your trip.
Safety
Follow the rules
Yield to pedestrians. Stop at all red lights and stop signs. Ride in the direction of traffic. Use the grip bell to signal your presence. Do not wear more than one earphone while riding. Obey traffic laws at all times.
Plan a sensible route
Plan your route before you ride to follow the safest route to your destination. You can use our app to find your way to a bike or to a hub where you want to end your ride.
Do a pre-ride check
Adjust the seat height; try the grip bell; and if you’re riding at night, check that the front and rear lights are illuminated.
Be predictable
Make it easy for the traffic around you. Don’t make unexpected turns that put yourself and others in danger. Ride at a steady pace so other vehicles can anticipate your movement.
Wear a helmet
Whenever you ride, wear a helmet. Always buckle the strap. Replace your helmet after any crash and whenever you see signs of damage.
Tips for turns
Use hand signals to let drivers and other cyclists know your intention to turn or to stop. Don’t turn or change lanes without knowing the position of the cars and bikes around you.
