In the month of May, Lectric eBikes achieved a huge milestone. We celebrated our 5-year anniversary, National eBike Day, and World Bicycle Day! We also initiated the "5 Rides for Drives" challenge on Strava, a renowned fitness tracking platform. This challenge encouraged participants to substitute five car trips with five eBike rides of at least 15 minutes each.
Participants who completed any five rides and tracked them on Strava during the challenge were eligible to win a $100 discount on either the ONE Long-Range eBike or XP 3.0 Long-Range eBike. In the end, 5 lucky participants also won a free eBike!
The response was overwhelming, with over 40,000 individuals registering and more than 18,000 riders successfully completing the challenge. Together, we effectively replaced 100,000 car trips with eBike rides throughout May. This achievement shows the commitment and effort of our community and we have nothing but thanks to give to our awesome riders!
Removing 100,000 cars equates to removing around 38,333 metric tons of CO2 emissions, based on the average passenger car emission rates (epa.gov). This reduction not only contributes to clearer skies and reduced traffic congestion but also promotes lower emissions overall, encouraging more people to enjoy the outdoors on their favorite eBikes!
We invite you to join the Lectric eBikes Strava Club to be part of our community and participate in future challenges.
