RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF A
DONATION OF TWO POLICE EBIKES VALUED AT
$11,235.57 FROM GENENTECH, INC., ADDING TO THE
POLICE FLEET TO BE USED BY C.O.T (COMMUNITY
OUTREACH TEAM).
WHEREAS, in December 2022, Genentech reached out to the South San Francisco Police
Department (SSFPD) regarding donating two eBikes (electronic bikes) from American Bike Patrol Services
valued at $11,235.57; and
WHEREAS, the eBikes will be used by C.O.T. (Community Outreach Team) to enable officers to
patrol areas not accessible by vehicles, such as the Centennial Trail, Bay Trail and accessing homeless
encampments; and
WHEREAS, the eBike is capable of moving any officer to speeds of up to 28 miles per hour
quickly, via pedal or throttle; and
WHEREAS, the difference between eBikes and standard pedal bicycles lies in the motorized
system - meaning the motor kicks in as the rider pedals the bike, increasing in speed as the rider increases
their pedaling; and
WHEREAS, eBike benefits versus a standard pedal bicycle, would be access to more areas, less
threatening, improve community outreach and greater stealth; and
WHEREAS, SSFPD currently has five standard pedal bicycles in the fleet; and
WHEREAS, adding eBikes to the fleet will enhance SSFPD's ability to serve the community and
residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco
hereby accept a donation of two Police eBikes valued $11,235.57 from Genetech, Inc., adding to the police
fleet to be used by C.O.T.
