Explore Parksville Easier Than Ever: Evolve E-Bikes and E-Scooters Are Here NOW
It's Earth Day. It's launch day. And the adventure starts right now.
A brand-new e-bike and e-scooter sharing program called Evolve just hit the streets of Parksville TODAY, and we're thrilled you're here to experience it! Whether you planned it or not, your timing is perfect. You can step outside right now and explore everything our beautiful city has to offer on two wheels.
Getting Around Just Got Better (Starting Today!)
Forget about needing a car for every little adventure. RIGHT NOW, you can grab an e-bike or e-scooter and zip down to the beach, hit downtown Parksville for lunch, explore local shops, or discover hidden community gems. No complicated reservations. No waiting. Just walk out, unlock, and ride.
We've Got You Covered (Right Here on Our Property!)
Here's the best part: we have a dedicated Evolve pickup and drop-off station right at the edge of our property. That means you can grab an e-bike or e-scooter without ever leaving our grounds. No complicated logistics. No wasting vacation time hunting down a station. Just step outside, unlock a ride through the simple Evo app, and start exploring.
What's Available
Evolve is launching with 50 vehicles across the city including:
- 20 e-bikes for longer distances and a more leisurely pace
- 30 e-scooters for quick trips and speedy fun
Stations are strategically placed around Parksville to connect you to:
- Beach access near Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park
- Downtown shops and restaurants for dining and shopping

Helmets are included with every ride, and the app handles all the payment. Plus, each vehicle comes equipped with automatic lights and turn signals to keep you safe.
Bonus: Earth Day Celebration Happening TODAY
The official launch event is happening right now at the Parksville Civic and Technology Centre from 10 am to 1 pm. Free test rides, meet the Evolve team, spin a prize wheel, and learn about the program. Plus, if you haven't ridden yet today, here's the sweetest deal: all rides on April 22 are just the $1.25 unlock fee (that's basically free!). You can take unlimited 30-minute trips throughout the day.
Whether you head to the launch party or straight to our on-property station, today is THE day to experience Evolve.
Pricing That Makes Sense
Evolve offers flexible pricing options:
- Pay-per-minute rates for quick trips
- Monthly passes if you're staying longer
- Only a $1.25 unlock fee per ride
Safe Riding, Happy Exploring
Your safety matters. Each e-bike and e-scooter is equipped with built-in safety features, and Evolve hosts community safety events to help riders learn best practices and get comfortable on the road.
Ready to Roll? (Yes, Right Now!)
This is the launch day. This is the moment Parksville gets smaller and more connected at the same time. Don't just think about what you'll do from your accommodation. Think about where you can go in the next hour. The beach for an afternoon ride? A coffee shop downtown you want to check out? A quick scooter trip to find that restaurant you heard about?
Head to our property's Evolve station right now, unlock your ride, and be part of Parksville's transportation revolution. You're not just visiting on Earth Day, you're experiencing the city's newest, greenest way to get around.
