Bike Share Parking Zones

What’s Happening

A new e-bike share system is coming to Victoria that will provide residents and visitors with more options to get around. Easy-to-ride e-bikes and helmets will be available in designated parking zones across the city to rent using a smartphone app. You’ll be able to grab an e-bike from any bike share parking zone in Victoria, cruise to your destination and drop off your ride in the nearest bike share parking zone when you arrive. Whether you’re heading downtown and have a ride home, connecting with transit or just want to try an e-bike, bike share can get you there!

With 44 km of All Ages and Abilities bike routes built and more underway, Victoria is an ideal place for bike share.

Bike Share Parking Zones

Staff are currently planning the bike share system, including designing parking zones where shared e-bikes will be available. Users will only be able to start and end their bike share trips in designated parking zones.

The design and placement of bike share parking zones will follow best practices from other shared systems, including locating them:

• Near our All Ages and Abilities bike routes
• Close to key destinations
• At visible, easy-to-access spaces (such as near intersections)

Parking zones will be around one parking space in size, depending on location and anticipated demand. There will be a parking zone approximately every two to three blocks, with citywide coverage.
