Thirty Evolve E-Bikes are available to ride around SFU’s Burnaby campus and the surrounding area. The electric pedal-assist bikes can be found at nine designated parking zones strategically located across campus, including outside student residences to the west and adjacent the UniverCity neighbourhood to the east.
Each e-bike includes complimentary use of a helmet if riders don’t have their own, and access to safety information, riding tips and advice on the app and at . The program has flexible pricing of $0.35 per minute, or $12.99 per hour, plus an additional $1.25 unlocking fee per trip. Frequent riders can subscribe for $9.99 a month, lowering the rate to $0.10 per minute.
Some areas of campus, such as the Academic Quadrangle courtyard and Convocation Mall, are off limits for riding. These areas are highlighted in red in the Evo App and power of the e-bikes will be automatically eliminated when entering these no-riding zones to ensure the safety of all users.
SFU community members can sign up for a free Evolve E-Bike Share membership and use promo code HELLOSFU to get 15 free riding minutes (for new members only).
