E-Bikes for Monterey County Veterans
Since 2020, the Sea Otter Classic Foundation has been raising funds to supply e-Bikes to the Veterans Transition Center of Monterey County to help the veterans they serve transition from crisis to self-sufficiency. To date, we have donated eight e-Bikes and counting. These bikes provide a personally empowering and independent form of transportation for veterans truly in need. From the amputee who never thought he would ride a bike again, to the vet now commuting to his job on an e-Bike, the impact these bikes are making is truly transformative! At the present time, we are only able to provide e-Bikes to the Veterans Transition Center for their use.
