Schedule & Locations

Locations

These are weekend events that start Friday afternoon and end on Sunday afternoon.

The cities have been selected based on the weather during the first half of the year, the level of friendliness towards electric bikes, and the economic demographics of both the residences and the visitors during specific events.

This entire program is being done in conjunction with the support of our strategic partner Interbike, the nation’s largest organized B2B trade show for the cycling industry.

As the program evolves, more locations and additional dates later into the year will be added.

The initial sponsors and exhibitors will become part of ExtraEnergy's advisory committee and will have say in the future locations and features.

The stadium sits adjacent to the Interbike IBD Summit hotel and Interstate 10 which is the main artery feeding more than 100,000 cars a day through the heart of the city. The Expo will be visible from both sides. Here is a map of the Tempe Diablo Stadium.

San Diego, California: Liberty Station

Located within minutes from the downtown gaslight corridor and just West of the airport, the Liberty Station complex is a mixture of shopping, dining, entertainment, non-profit, hotels, and residential. The 360-acre complex is historic as it was the training buildings on the original Navy Yard.

This is a very unique location in that it is both a tourist draw as well as a popular local destination. Our involvement with the California Bicycle Coalition will have many state and local officials participating in the event as well as recreational cycling groups and plenty of outdoor enthusiasts from the surrounding beach communities, who can actually ride right to the event. The Expo location is in the heart of the complex with many important retailers that draw high traffic.

Here is a map of Liberty Station.

The third stop on the tour is in the heart of Houston, Texas on the Rice University campus. We are working jointly with BikeTexas and the various local cycling coalition offices. The event is in conjunction with the Texas Trails and Active Transportation conference.

This biennial conference will have more than 300 city planners in attendance. The focus of the educational programs is for anyone involved in the planning, construction, funding, economics, operation, management, promotion and use of bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation modes.

The mall itself is a premium outdoor shopping destination. We are working with California Bicycle Coalition as well as local coalition partners and expect city officials from San Francisco, San Jose and the surrounding communities to be part of the visiting public.
