The Canadian company Zygg is introducing a subscription-based plan to own an electric bike. Electrical bikes have seen a massive boom in popularity in the past few years, and even more so as we see the rising gas prices. The Vancouver based company looks to provide residents with access to e-bikes for 99$ a month. Included is the “e-bike, free regular maintenance and reduced liability coverage.” Once interested, you would get to choose the model off of their website, fill out the forms, and the bike will be delivered directly to your door. With the subscription based model, it’s hoped that more residents will be willing to try e-bikes, due to the lack of commitment and lower prices.
I find this really interesting, and truly, if I were in need of more regular transportation, I would use this model. I’ve used e-bikes before, and I think they are something that needs a bit more development to be truly successful, and I believe that models like this could really help. E-bikes help those who want to bike as a form of travel without the concern or introductory period of figuring out if you have the time, energy, or athletic ability to introduce it into your regular routine. I also think that Vancouver is a great market to introduce it into, as we fit the perfect demographic of bike accessible and interested, generally athletic and health focus, and in need of a travel alternative to cars.
