Thinking about an e-bike? Not sure where to start?

E-bikes can make hills easier, extend your range, and turn everyday trips into fun rides—but there’s a lot to know before you get rolling.

Join us for E-BIKE 101: Buying, Owning & Riding an E-Bike.

Three perspectives. One great e-bike conversation. Join Spencer Wolens of Pioneer Cycle, a Blaine Police Officer, and an Anoka County Sheriff’s Deputy for practical advice on e-bikes, safety, and the latest local laws and changes

You’ll also learn about:
• E-bike types/classes & how they differ
• Choosing the right bike for you
• Where you can legally ride
• Batteries, storage, safety tips and much more!
• Event Details:
Northtown Library, 711 County Rd 10 NE, Blaine

Since they first came on the market, e-bikes have been proven that they’re more than a fad. Electric bikes are faster and less physically taxing to operate than a normal bicycle...
