One of the key design goals of Edge Esmeralda is creating spaces for connection, serendipity, and staying healthy. Our popup village is designed around walkable neighborhoods and communal gathering spots where meaningful interactions happen naturally.
By prioritizing walking & biking everywhere rather than driving, we're crafting an environment where you'll constantly cross paths with other participants, while also supporting physical and environmental health.
Electric Bikes
Drop Mobility
This year, we’re partnering with Drop Mobility to offer a fleet of Class 1 pedal-assist electric bikes—the easiest and fastest way to get around town. Each bike can reach speeds of up to 16 mph and is designed for safety and ease on all terrains.
Every rental includes:
A unique battery lock specific to that bike
A matching key that allows the rider to remove the battery for charging
A charger
Pricing:
1 Month Rental: $249
1 Week Rental: $84
Bikes can be picked up and dropped off at designated hubs around Healdsburg. Our team and volunteers will be supporting charging, distribution, and maintenance to ensure a smooth experience. We’ll also be offering free helmets and scooters for kids.
