Donations are always accepted, and there will be a waitlist for those who would like to receive a bicycle.

April 1, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEELEKTRIP ANNOUNCES LECTURE ON SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY Denver, CO – June 15, 2010 - Elektrip® in conjunction with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science announced an upcoming lecture on Sustainable Energy Technology today. The lecture will be held on July 1st in the Ricketson Auditorium at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science from 7-9:30pm. Admission is free but reservations are recommended.
“There is a great deal that can be done to reduce the energy requirements of Denver’s workforce, and improvements in transportation technology could lead the way,” said Jan Tschichold, lead engineer at Elektrip®. Jan Tschichold will lecture on the development of energy efficient transportation and the effect this will have on sustainable energy technology.
One lucky lecture attendee will go home with a brand new Second WindTM Elektrip® commuter bicycle. A 700 Watt, silent hub propulsion system with quick charge Lithium Ion Batteries, powers the Second Windtm bike. The bicycles have light carbon fiber frames (the bike weighs in at thirty-five lbs unloaded), run flat tires, and disc brakes. This makes them ideal for any local commuter wishing to reduce their energy usage.
After the lecture all attendees and museum patrons will be encouraged to try the bicycle for themselves. Elektrip® staff will be stationed in a booth outside the museum’s front entrance to talk about Elektrip®’s efforts to reduce Denver’s reliance on fossil fuels. They will also give lessons on how the bicycles operate and road safety tips.

June 1, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEELEKTRIP ANNOUNCES DONATIONS OF ELECTRIC BICYCLES TO EMTS Denver, CO – July 15, 2010 - Elektrip® will donate five Second WindTM bikes to Denver EMS at the Urban Assault Ride. EMS workers will use these bikes during the event to rush to the aid of any riders or spectators in crowded areas that are difficult to get an ambulance.Notified of the donation by Elektrip®, EMS worker Dennis Schlep said; “Yeah, these bikes could really take a lot of the work out of responding to emergencies. We would be able to get there quickly and we wouldn’t be tired when we arrive, that way we would have more energy to provide care. These bikes can make a big difference.”
“We at Elektrip® support our EMTs whole-heartedly,” said Jeff Erickson, head of Public Relations at Elektrip®. “Denver has the finest EMTs in the nation that are there whenever we need them three hundred and sixty-five days a year. We thought it was time for Elektrip to show our support for them by giving them these bikes. After all they do for us; this is the least we could do.” The Elektrip® Second WindTM bicycle is powered by a 700 Watt, silent hub propulsion system with quick charge Lithium Ion Batteries and each bike will have two for extended range. The bikes have light carbon fiber frames (the bike weighs in at thirty-five lbs unloaded), run flat tires, and disc brakes. “These bikes will allow Denver EMTs to get through crowds to help injured people at this and other crowded events and unlike riding a traditional bike, the Elektrip® Second Wind TM bike will do the pedaling for them leaving them with energy to help people,” said Erickson. “Other EMTs may even call them Cheaters™.”
