Electric Ride Program

You can help Austin to become one of the most livable cities in the country if you choose electricity as your transportation fuel.

Electric Ride Options
Riders can choose from a variety of electric bikes, scooters, mopeds, motorcycles or Segways. How these two-wheel electric vehicles are powered can vary.

• All vehicles are powered with an electric motor.
• Some vehicles use a combination of human and electric power.
• Some vehicles, like the motorcycle, use only electric power.

Speeds can range from 10 to 50+ miles-per-hour depending on the two-wheel electric vehicle.
