The Florida State Parks Foundation, Cannondale Bicycle Corporation and REI Co-op’s Winter Park store collaborated to provide 25 Cannondale Tesoro Neo X3 e-bikes for use by park rangers across the state.
The provision of e-bikes aims to provide ease of transportation, support devoted rangers in their day-to-day tasks and reduce the parks’ environmental footprint.
This initiative marked the latest development in the foundation’s Greener Initiative, which is a campaign to encourage environmental sustainability in state parks.
This collaboration was believed to be the first of its kind among America’s state parks system.
