UBC has partnered with Zygg to allow eligible faculty and staff to try an e-bike for free for an entire week. Zygg is a subscription-based e-bike service that offers monthly e-bike rentals to its customers instead of customers needing to purchase an e-bike.
UBC Staff and Faculty Discount
Want to continue riding after your free trial? You can sign up for a personal e-bike subscription or purchase an e-bike with Zygg afterwards. Zygg will be providing all UBC staff and faculty with a 10% discount on all subscriptions and purchases. Just use your UBC email and code “UBC10” at checkout.
This offer is available for all UBC staff and faculty regardless of participation in UBC’s Try an E-Bike Program.
Who is eligible?
