Pitt employees can become trained to ride Pitt’s first electric-assist cargo bike fleet vehicle as part of their work in Oakland or within biking distance of campus.
Use the electric cargo bike in place of a gas-powered vehicle to reduce your transportation emissions and help the University achieve carbon neutrality by 2037.
The commercial grade, heavy-duty, utility-style electric trike can hold up to 500 pounds in its lockable cargo box. Electric pedal-assist provides additional power to riders with a range of 40 to 80 miles on a single charge. Interested employees should email sustainability@pitt.edu to become an electric cargo bike rider.
Eligibility
- Must be an employee (staff, faculty, or student worker) of the University of Pittsburgh.
- Pass Confident City Cycling class or be an experienced on-street bike rider with knowledge of Pennsylvania bike laws.
- Complete minimum three-hour cargo bike training.
