RFQ 25-08 for the Purchase of E-Bikes

Intent

In 2022, the SGVCOG launched “GoSGV,” the region’s first longer-term electric bikeshare program. The SGVCOG contracts with local non-profit ActiveSGV to operate the bikeshare program which allows residents of the San Gabriel Valley to “check-out” either a commuter/city style or cargo style electric bike and use it as their own for an affordable monthly fee. Due to high demand for the limited fleet, cargo bikes are capped at 3-month membership periods.

The SGVCOG was recently awarded Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) funding by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), through the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), to expand the GoSGV bikeshare program. As part of this expansion, the SGVCOG is looking to purchase roughly 69 new, high quality electric cargo bikes and electric trikes to increase the size of the GoSGV bikeshare fleet.

The new e-bikes will include at least 6 different models of long-tail and front-loader cargo bikes, and e-trikes to increase program access for residents with unique mobility needs. These e-cargo bikes and e-trikes will be integrated into the fleet of e-bikes available for check-out through the GoSGV program, specifically for residents of disadvantaged communities.

The E-Bike Purchase RFQ 25-08 is available here as of March 17th, 2025. Any written Addenda will be posted here and any Responses to Questions will be posted here per the timeline in the linked RFQ.
