Christmas arrived early for Ship Bottom police, thanks to a donation of two fully equipped electric bikes from the borough’s Walters Bicycles and Pedego LBI.
The police department is the recipient of two Pedego Ridge Rider special edition electric bikes. The bicycles are described as “a green alternative transportation” and allow the operator to pedal or not for greater mobility through traffic. The ability to do that in a high-traffic area will help police with faster response times, enhance public service and foster community, according to bike shop owner Tom Walters.
“This is a very generous donation, which vastly exceeded all expectations,” Police Chief Jonathan Potter said.
