San Gabriel Valley Expands Subsidized E-Bike Rental Program with New Cargo Models
What happened
The GoSGV program, operated by ActiveSGV and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, added five new models to its fleet of budget e-bikes. These new additions include two cargo bikes from Riese & Müller: the Load5 60 and the Carrie2. The bikes are available to qualifying members, who must reside in an “Equity City” or meet specific household income criteria. The new cargo e-bikes are rentable for $35 per month on three-month terms.

Why it matters
The program provides affordable access to specialized cargo e-bikes for residents in the San Gabriel Valley. The availability of these subsidized rentals supports local mobility initiatives and expands the fleet offered to low-income and equity members.
