Our mission

E-RIDE, The class we wish every young rider had to take.

E-bikes are moving faster than the culture around them. Minnesota E-Bike Safety Academy was founded to give preteens and teens the road-safety intelligence their generation was never taught — before a preventable moment becomes a permanent one.

What we do

A focused 2-hour course.

Real road safety isn't learned by staring at a textbook. We bring traffic safety to life through a dynamic, collaborative environment where students tackle real-world case studies head-on. Our interactive layout gets the entire room talking, analyzing blind spots, and working through defensive riding strategies together—making sure every student is locked in, engaged, and ready for the road.

Our online course covers the exact same road-safety curriculum — video lessons, slide decks, module quizzes, and a proctored-style final exam — from any device. Students who pass earn the same E-RIDE Certification as in-person attendees. $50, start anytime.

Intelligence Before Operation.

Our courses are dedicated entirely to teaching regulations and road-safety intelligence. By focusing exclusively on classroom-based scenario analysis and defensive decision-making, we ensure students master the "why" and "how" of safe riding. For this reason, we do not conduct on-site riding. Students leave with the confidence and road intelligence to ride safely, while hands-on practice stays with parents.
