SAN ANTONIO – VIA passengers can now bring their own electronic bikes on bus trips, according to a press release from the company.

With treatment similar to that of normal bicycles, e-bikes are allowed on racks inside and outside of VIA buses.
The news release said that e-bike batteries must remain intact with the bicycle frame and be turned off while commuting on VIA buses. Additionally, e-bikes may not be charged.
“E-bikes are growing in popularity for commuters and can be a great option for people to start and finish their trips that incorporate public transit,” Arndt said.
Commercially owned e-bikes, rentals, and app-based e-bikes are not allowed on the buses, according to VIA.
