Yes, it’s possible (and easy) to run errands with an electric go-bike! You might be looking to make your lifestyle a little greener, to get exercise easily, or just need a vehicle-less way to get to your to-do list. Using your electric go bike to run errands in and around your neighborhood is surprisingly easy, and we will touch on the most important things to keep in mind.

1. First, consider what errands you need to do and how much you’ll be carrying. If they involve needing to carry more than a few items, you may want to wear a book bag or messenger bag to hold bulky items like books or groceries. If you only need a couple of items like your phone, keys, or a water bottle, pick up an attachable accessory like a bike basket or saddlebag.
2. Choose appropriate clothing or bring a change of clothes! When running errands with an electric bike, be sure to wear something comfortable that won’t tangle in the wheels. You should also wear clothed-toe shoes for safety. If you are going to the bank or post office, that outfit will be just fine. If you are going to the doctor or a nicer date night, consider packing a quick change of clothes in your bag.
3. Remember safety precautions, especially if you run errands during busy times. Keep local biking laws in mind, things like using the designated bike lane and wearing a helmet. Review safety information before setting off on your errands, and always stay aware of your surroundings.

Running errands with an electric bike is a great way to save money on gas and car repair bills, and you can also save time by ditching heavy-traffic roadways. Getting some exercise and helping reduce your carbon footprint are also great reasons to use an e-bike for quick runs.
