How it works
E-bike sharing just got easier with Evolve. Find an e-bike nearby, unlock, inspect, and hit the road. Ride as long as you like, just return the e-bike to any Evolve Parking Zone. Evolve is currently operating in Nanaimo, Comox Valley, Whistler, SFU Burnaby Campus and New Westminster, and is available for private businesses across Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
