Quad Cities Community E-Bike Ride - Spring 2026

Join us for a scenic 36-mile round-trip ride along the river! Whether you bought your bike from us, ride an Aventon, or cruise on another e-bike brand, we want you to come along! This is a casual, fun-focused ride designed to bring our local e-bike community together to enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

The Route:

We’ve mapped out an incredible ride that utilizes our local protected bike paths! We will start at Twin Span Brewing in Bettendorf and ride 17.4 miles down to Sunset Park in Rock Island. After a quick break to stretch and enjoy the park, we will head back on a slightly varied 18.9-mile return loop.

Event Schedule:

9:00 AM - Check-In & Pre-Ride Prep: Meet us in the parking lot at Twin Span Brewing. EVI will have our Aventon tent set up! Forgot something? We’ll be selling helmets, locks, mirrors, bags, and other essential accessories right on site. We will also have a free water station to fill up your bottles.

9:30 AM to 10:00 AM - Kickstands Up! We will have a rolling start during this window to get everyone safely onto the path.

Mid-Day - Sunset Park Break: We'll take a breather at Sunset Park to stretch our legs and take some group photos.

Afternoon - Post-Ride Lunch: Once we arrive back at Twin Span Brewing, lock up your bikes and join us on the patio or inside! We encourage everyone to stick around for a well-earned lunch, cold drinks, and great camaraderie with fellow riders.

What to Know Before You Go:

Charge Up: This is a 36+ mile trip. Please arrive with 100% fully charged battery so you have plenty of power for the return loop!

Pace: This is a "no-drop," community-paced ride. It's about enjoying the scenery and the company, not racing.

Safety: Helmets are highly encouraged, and please double-check your tire pressure before leaving home.

Come make some new riding buddies and kick off the spring season the right way. We can't wait to ride with you!
