You roll out from the rental shop, motor humming under a light breeze, and the city of Chico opens in two directions: a tidy downtown grid to the west and the broad, tree-lined corridors of Bidwell Park to the east. Electric assistance turns hills into brief punctuation marks; the creek valley, sycamore groves and pocket reservoirs move past with easy momentum.

Charge and Check the Battery

Follow Multi-Use Etiquette
Slow for pedestrians, announce passes, and ride single file on narrow park paths to keep conflicts low.

Lock and Store Valuables
Use a lock for stops in downtown Chico and keep electronics secured when leaving the bike unattended.
Helmet (provided)
Protects your head and is included with the rental—always wear it while riding.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential, especially in summer heat and on longer loops.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Pedal efficiency and protection improve with shoes that grip the pedals and shield toes.
