With the increase in E-Bike popularity, the need for safety education and training is essential and classes are needed. To help support the safe and responsible use of e-bikes, Bike Newport has developed a program based on People For Bikes E–Bike Smart course.
NO E-BIKES REQUIRED FOR INSTRUCTION
The course includes:
Part 1 – This FREE one-hour program offers clear, simple, and actionable steps to learn best practices for riding and maintaining your e-bike. In-person session, or online instruction – no bike required.
Part 2 – On-bike instruction, skills practice and a group ride.
– The ABC Quick Check.
– Signaling, lane position, collision awareness for safely and responsibly riding e-bikes
A group ride to practice all skills

We also offer ‘Lunch & Learn’ sessions:
Want to encourage cycling to free up some parking spaces? Coordinating an office sustainability group event? Or just want to help more people cycle?
We offer workplace lunch discussions on a variety of topics. These on-site sessions will be a 30-45 minute bike-safety and bike-commuting presentation that provides a variety of topics of your choice such as e-bike safety, commuting, maintenance, safety tips, information on the law, and a question and answer portion to help get people riding.
If you are interested in joining an upcoming group class, or if you’d like to arrange a class for a group at your community organization or workplace, please email Gail Ruscetta, our Community Educator, at gail@bikenewportri.org or call us on (401) 619-4900.
