Program Details 

By joining the program, you will participate in training sessions, held both virtually and in-person, to learn more about e-bikes and how to ride safely. The City of Vista has partnered with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition to host training sessions in both English and Spanish. Virtual sessions will cover essential safety guidelines, while in-person sessions provide hands-on training. Both options ensure you’re equipped with the knowledge and skills to ride safely.
