Jibe, SMUD and Councilmember Lisa Kaplan invite residents to test-drive electric vehicles and ride commuter and cargo e-bikes in a no-pressure environment.

SACRAMENTO, CA, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sacramento area residents curious about electric transportation can experience it firsthand at the Electric Ride & Drive Expo on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the ONE Natomas Farmers Market.

Presented by North Natomas Jibe in partnership with SMUD and District 1 Councilmember Lisa Kaplan, the Expo gives attendees an opportunity to get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle, ride different styles of e-bikes and learn how electric transportation could fit into their daily lives.

The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon at North Natomas Regional Park, located at 2501 New Market Drive in Sacramento.

Unlike a traditional vehicle showroom, the Electric Ride & Drive Expo is designed as a no-pressure, no-sales environment. Attendees can explore different transportation options, ask practical questions and compare electric vehicles and e-bikes without being expected to make a purchase.

Visitors will have an opportunity to:
* Test-drive a selection of electric vehicles brought by SMUD.
* Test-ride a selection of e-bikes.
* Speak with knowledgeable exhibitors about the latest e-bike and electric vehicle technology.
* Compare electric transportation options in one convenient location.
* Learn how e-bikes and EVs may support commuting, errands, and other everyday trips.
* Explore the ONE Natomas Farmers Market while attending the Expo.

Mike’s Bikes and RADLife Mobility will feature a variety of commuter and cargo e-bikes, including options from Serial 1. SMUD will bring a wide selection of electric vehicles for attendees to explore and test-drive.

By bringing vehicles, bicycles and transportation experts together in one accessible community setting, the Expo helps residents move beyond online research and experience electric transportation for themselves. Whether attendees are considering an EV, looking for an e-bike that can carry groceries or simply wondering what electric options are available, they can compare possibilities and get their questions answered firsthand.

The Electric Ride & Drive Expo will be held Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the ONE Natomas Farmers Market in North Natomas Regional Park.
