A practical local alternative

Why choose the Bimba electric bike?

For short everyday trips around Santa Teresa, a Bimba e-bike offers a practical alternative to taking a car, ATV or motorcycle. You can find and unlock one in the app, travel without buying fuel or adding engine noise, carry a small secured item in the front basket and finish at an approved Bimba parking point that uses far less space than a car. Compared with a standing scooter, the seated position, adjustable saddle and full-size wheels can feel more familiar to bicycle riders, while electric assistance supports your pedaling. It is still a road vehicle, not an off-road bike, so check the route and conditions before you ride.

    Curved upright handlebar

  2. 02

    Front basket

    A fixed basket carries a small secured item without hanging weight from the handlebars.

  3. 03

    Adjustable saddle

    Set the saddle before moving so your leg keeps a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

  4. 04

    Protected battery

    The battery sits inside the step-through frame where it is protected and serviceable by the fleet team.

  5. 05

    26-inch wheel

    Full-size wheels create a familiar bicycle feel and roll more smoothly over mild unevenness than small scooter wheels.

  6. 06

    Low step-through frame

    The open center makes mounting and dismounting easier for riders with different heights and levels of mobility.

Built for comfort

Everything you touch should feel intuitive.

The cockpit brings the controls, live ride information and phone position into one clear view. Below it, a familiar pedaling system and adjustable saddle help different riders find a comfortable setup.

Adjust the saddle before moving.

A broad saddle and adjustable seat post help riders find a natural seated position. Set the height while stopped so your leg keeps a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

Designed around comfort and control

Sit naturally. Look ahead. Ride with confidence.

A low step-through frame, adjustable saddle and curved handlebar create a relaxed, upright riding position. That position can feel more familiar than a standing scooter and makes it easier to look ahead through traffic. The 26-inch wheels add a full-size bicycle feel, while electric assistance supports your pedaling without replacing the need to steer, brake and choose a comfortable pace.

Commercial-grade design

Made for daily shared use.

This is not a consumer vehicle adapted with a QR sticker. The platform was developed for shared fleets, where the frame, battery enclosure, controls and connected electronics need to withstand frequent use by different riders.

Bimba adds the part riders do not see in a specification table: local inspection, charging, maintenance, app access and an approved parking network. The actual vehicle and the Bimba app are always the reference for controls, battery status and current ride rules.

Everyday comfort

See how the design feels in real life.

A low step-through frame makes getting on straightforward, while the full-size wheels and upright riding position create a familiar bicycle feel. These scenes show how those details translate into an everyday Bimba ride.

Comfort starts with the frame

The low step-through frame makes mounting easier for different riders. An upright handlebar position supports visibility, while the adjustable saddle lets the rider establish a comfortable pedaling position before entering traffic.

26-inch wheels built for everyday movement

The full-size wheels and air-filled anti-puncture tires give the bike a familiar, stable feel on normal roads. They offer more margin than small scooter wheels over mild unevenness, but they do not turn the bike into an off-road vehicle.

Designed for Santa Teresa

A reliable bike needs a reliable local service.

The bike provides the hardware, but the everyday experience depends on what happens around it. Bimba’s local team inspects, charges and maintains the fleet, while the app shows current availability and where a trip can be completed.

Santa Teresa can bring dust, rain, salt air and changing road conditions. Check the bike before every trip, choose a comfortable pace and use only the parking location shown in the app when you finish.
