City of Long Beach Launches Electric Bicycle Lending Library Program

The City of Long Beach is launching the application period for its Electric Bicycle (E-Bike) Lending Library program, a new initiative that will allow residents to borrow E-bikes for up to three months at no cost. Residents will be able to check out E-bikes from the E-Bike Lending Library via an application and selection process. Now through April 18, 2024, applications can be submitted online or via paper copies available in person at any Long Beach Public Library location. Applications are available in English, Spanish, Khmer and Tagalog. Applicants who meet eligibility requirements will be selected at random to participate in the first round of the program. Selected participants will be notified in May, and operator training and E-bike pick up will be scheduled soon thereafter. The applicant list will be used for additional lending rounds until the list is exhausted. For questions, please visit the program website or contact the team at GoActiveLB@longbeach.gov.  View full press release here.
