Today, visitors and residents are adopting this fun and accessible way to experience the beauty of Park City.

A Cleaner Way to Ride

Summit Bike Share began with a simple mission: solve regional issues with a regional solution. This e-bike sharing program lets visitors and residents lower their carbon footprint and reduce air pollution while running errands, commuting to work, or exploring the beauty of our town.

The program is simple. Just download the app on Android or iPhone, choose a membership, unlock your bike and go. Summit Bike Share has 20 e-bike stations around the city, including one at Newpark Resort, the highest capacity kiosk in the area. A single ride is $3.50, and an annual membership is $96.44 for residents and employees.

Just Start Pedaling

An electric bike may look like a regular bike, but it’s built for speed. Designed with a motor, battery, and controller, you can ride sweat-free around town all day. All of Summit Bike Share’s e-bikes have electric assist. This bike mode gives you the extra boost you may want (or need!) when you pedal through Park City’s hilly terrain.
