Portland Shatters E-Bike Record | Portland News
Description
Portland just shattered a Guinness World Record with over 1,060 riders cruising the waterfront on Sunday, July 19th — a massive e-bike celebration marking Biketown’s 10th anniversary and beating Seattle’s old record. Since going fully electric in 2020, Biketown has racked up nearly 4 million rides, proving e-bikes are both practical and wildly popular, especially with free rides on the big day. Meanwhile, Portland’s Clean Energy Fund is rolling out rebates — over 1,000 already handed out — offering up to $2,350 for cargo bikes and $1,600 for standard models to lower-income families, aiming to cut emissions, boost health, and make biking more affordable. It wasn’t just a record-breaking ride — it was pure, joyful Portland energy, proving e-bikes are here to stay.
