I founded the Friends Bike Clinic which focuses on helping people make small repairs for free, I’ve started selling ebikes and cargo bikes as Boxy Bikes LLC, and I recently founded nysebikes.org as an advocacy group.

Did you find a name? I’m writing brief articles for an ebike blog and always on the lookout for interesting themes.

Toronto here… we are a group of 300+ ebikers, having a meeting August 1 to discuss finally “going official” as a registered not-for-profit.

Looking fwd.to the day when our neighbours in NY finally have your ebike bill passed in your Senate!

Success in your efforts to organize.

One important question is whether you want to be known by your full name (which would thus have to be fairly short), or by your acronym. Another is whether the associated url is available.

Here are a few more ideas:
It’s Electric!
Ebike Ithaca
Ebike Workshop
Ebikeworks
Electrify Your Bike
Electrified
Hill Boost
Bikeworks
Ecycle
Ecycling

My opinion about the scope: include cargo conversion, but not all electric vehicles. Have you thought about including training rides that allow ebikes? (Or are they already allowed at FLCC rides?)

My additions: E-cycle, Electrobike League

Also, considering it took me and the kids an hour to get home from the store yesterday (2.5 miles dragging bikes uphill), we’re interested in learning more!
