CyclErie Powers Erie’s Sustainability with Benno 46er eCargo Bikes

At CyclErie, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with the Town of Erie in a groundbreaking step toward a greener future! Thanks to a $9,000 pilot grant from the Colorado Energy Office, the Town of Erie has acquired two Benno 46er electric cargo bikes from our shop to reduce vehicle use, cut emissions, and streamline operations. As Erie’s first bike shop and the Front Range’s largest electric bicycle retailer, we’re proud to support this initiative that aligns with our mission to promote sustainable transportation.

Why the Benno 46er?

The Benno 46er was the perfect choice for Erie’s sustainability goals. Equipped with a powerful Bosch Mid Drive motor delivering 85nm of torque and a 500wh battery, this Class 1 eCargo bike offers a 60-70 mile range, allowing town employees to travel between offices all week with minimal charging. Limited to 20mph and featuring pedal-assist technology, the Benno 46er ensures safe, eco-friendly rides on Erie’s bike paths. These bikes replace car trips for employees who collectively travel about 1,300 miles annually between town offices, significantly reducing fossil fuel use.

A Win for Erie’s Sustainability Goals

The Town of Erie’s adoption of eCargo bikes reflects a commitment to lowering its environmental footprint while inspiring residents to embrace sustainable practices. As part of the pilot program, the town will track usage metrics to share with the Colorado Energy Office, demonstrating the bikes’ impact on efficiency and emissions reduction. By showcasing these bikes in action, Erie hopes to encourage residents to consider eBikes for their own commutes and errands.

To sweeten the deal, the Town of Erie is offering a $100 discount on your monthly water bill for residents who purchase an eBike. It’s a fantastic incentive to join the movement toward greener transportation!
