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:

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.
