What is E-bike share?
E-bike share is a short-term rental program for electric bikes that allows residents and visitors to sign up via mobile app to rent an e-bike from a fleet available at various public locations in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.

Why e-bike share?
In 2021, the three North Shore municipalities collaborated to establish the e-bike share pilot program. This program is supported by Council-approved policies and aligns with the social, environmental, economic, and mobility goals of the three North Shore municipalities.
After a successful pilot period, Councils from all three participating municipalities directed staff to establish a permanent e-bike share operation.
This program provides a cost-effective, environmentally-sensitive transportation option and supports our Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP), which recommends implementing bike share as one measure to help reduce energy emissions.
Current program
After a successful two-year pilot that began in 2021, the e-bike program on the North Shore continues day-to-day operations as an important part of the North Shore’s transportation network.
We continue to work with Lime to install additional designated parking to improve availability across the North Shore. Check Lime’s app to find an e-bike or e-bike parking spot (Lime Grove) on this map.
North Shore Transportation Survey
The three North Shore municipalities (City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, and District of West Vancouver) partnered in 2019 to undertake a transportation panel survey to provide in-depth insight into the travel patterns and behaviours of North Shore residents, and to inform decisions on transportation. The survey is conducted every two years, with the most recent one completed in 2023.
