Ari on How playa e-bikes was created
I found myself asking, “Where the heck is everyone getting an eBike from?” As soon as I returned to my default life, I started to research eBike companies around the Reno area. There are some wonderful bike shops, but I wanted to be someone from our community directly serving our community. I set out to create an approach that could be credited to the principles that I’ve been inspired by. So, here are The Nine Pillars of Playa eBikes!
We are not affiliated in any way with the Burning Man Project.
We are just Burners trying to do some good in the world and be able to feed our kids and pets.
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices. We partner with suppliers who share this value, and promote environmentally conscious transportation through marketing and outreach efforts.
We are committed to making electric bikes accessible to as many people as possible. We provide a referral program, low-income and pre-owned pricing, as well as ways to customize our eBikes to meet each individual style and needs. Also, we promote eBiking as a viable mode of transportation for people of all ages and abilities.
We are committed to pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas in the electric bike industry. We are investing in research and development to create new bike technologies, collaborating with other innovative companies and individuals, and constantly striving to improve the design, performance, and functionality of electric bikes.

Yes, we rent our eBikes! Please take a moment to read through this entire page carefully.
Our eBikes are brand new. They are waiting for you in their original packaging. (You can request assembly for a very low $25 fee which covers the cost to dispose of the packing materials in a responsible manner). Many Burners cannot bring their eBikes back to their default life. If you wish to rent the eBike, here are the steps and terms/conditions we request you follow:
We take pride in offering exclusively brand-new, unused eBikes for sale. Thus, a used bike cannot be resold. Our convenient buyback program ensures you can receive partial and intended for:
1. Burners returning a new eBike that has never been used.
2. Burners that purchased the eBike for the event but do not intend on taking it back with them and need to dispose of it. The program works as follows:
Unopened Box ($250): You have a Playa eBike that remains in its original packaging, and you have not opened the box.
Open Box ($150): You have taken the eBike out of its original packaging but have not used it.
Lightly Used ($100): You have used your Playa eBike, but it appears to be in like-new condition, with no visible cosmetic or physical signs of usage.
Save the environment ($50): You bring in your Playa eBike, which shows clear signs of usage.
