THE ULTIMATE SERVICE

Pull city leaders together with county-wide regional summit hosting provided by the Bellemont Project!

The Bellemont Project helps organize and host regional summits that unite cities in a county-wide event, providing a unique platform for learning best practices from the nation’s leading e-bike safety experts. These events offer civic leaders the opportunity to network and collaborate for a more uniform approach to e-bike safety. The one-day summits facilitate comprehensive planning, enabling leaders within a region to work together and prevent fragmented, ineffective safety measures.

Notably, we provide advisory in using a longstanding legal mechanism, joint powers authorities, as well as an e-bike/e-moto playbook to help you roll into that success strategy efficiently. Our easy-to-use templates will help your regional stakeholder-agencies work cohesively. Whole regions can manage e-bike and e-moto safety much better than the current patchwork approach. By bringing stakeholders together, the Bellemont Project and Beth Black foster a cooperative, cost-effective legal framework that enhances regional connectivity and safety.

The only summits brought together by a former e-bike industry professional with expertise and connections in the field of e-bike safety.

Your City’s Front Line Needs a Unified Strategy. Not Just More Talk.

First responders, emergency medical personnel, and injury prevention teams are bearing the cost of e-bike chaos, managing trauma, and dealing with ineffective enforcement. Assistance in reducing crashes is badly needed.

Beth Black’s virtual or onsite speaking engagements move beyond basic awareness to deliver actionable operational strategy and can include a Micro-Experience of the revolutionary Incline Program©, demonstrating how to equip your police, parents, and diversion staff with effective, nuanced behavior-management tools that lead to lasting compliance.

The Incline Program doesn’t start with rules; it starts with impact. Each teen and parent session begins with a heartfelt, authentic talk chosen from our Presenter Video Library, featuring voices like Captain Greg Barta of the Orange County Fire Authority. As both a Public Information Officer and a paramedic who has worked at countless e-bike crashes, Captain Barta offers a brief but thought-provoking look into the serious personal consequences that this trend has been forcing on first responders. The program continues with deep conversations and thought-provoking exercises.

Take control of e-bike safety in your community by asking your civic leaders to reach out to the Bellemont Project. Ask to be included in a no-cost Mini-Incline Program Experience. Community leaders can help, once they know how. The Bellemont Project can help them put together a comprehensive strategic plan that will finally control the chaos.

Don’t leave e-bike safety to chance …

We understand that resources can be limited, which is why the Bellemont Project offers a cost-effective and time-saving solution. When compared to the potential damages and consequences of lawsuits arising from e-bike incidents, our program offers significant savings. By investing in proactive safety measures, you’ll not only protect your community but also avoid the costly repercussions of legal issues. In accordance with our social-enterprise mission, all summit fees are affordable for participating municipalities, and our extensive bonuses further ensure that you receive maximum value for your investment. Our time-sensitive scheduling requires a minimal investment of manpower resources to reap potentially huge rewards for participation. Additionally, all introductory webinars are currently free to the general public.

It’s easy to underestimate the urgency of addressing e-bike safety, but sales are soaring throughout the nation. At the same time, e-bike stunts like the “power wheelie” have exploded in popularity, fueled by social media videos modeling dangerous behavior on city streets. Many cities are not fully aware of the true extent of the problem unless they are actively monitoring neighborhood groups that show “complaint” comments on social media. And before any obvious misconduct occurs, teen riding safety can be affected when they simply forget to prioritize safety. By proactively participating in the Bellemont Project, you can get ahead of rising issues, prevent potential accidents, and foster a safer community for everyone.

As dedicated enthusiasts of e-bikes and micromobility, our mission is not to ban e-bikes but to establish enhanced e-bike safety goals for communities. We aim to help communities create safe environments where even teens on e-motos can enjoy riding. While we appreciate the excitement of stunt riding and racing, we believe these activities should be supported by proper training and designated safe spaces, much like any legitimate sport.

It’s time for Motocross to give up the gas and go electric, bringing race-riding and stunts into arenas where it can be celebrated by thousands of fans. It’s time for e-moto companies to invest in the sport beyond mere rideouts with paid influencers. They should support the development of a new sport that truly benefits young riders and applauds their skills.

The Bellemont Project is based on Beth Black’s extensive research and real-world experience in managing e-bike safety. With degrees in Social Ecology and writing from UC Irvine, a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, and hands-on experience running an e-bike shop, Beth brings a comprehensive and unique perspective to this issue. Additionally, her connections with experts in related fields ensure that our approach is both innovative, effective, and informed by e-bike best practices. Choose the social enterprise dedicated solely to e-bike safety! The Bellemont Project is a proud California Certified Small Business.

Not sure which way to go?

When Beth launched the Bellemont Project, it was with the goal of reaching all stakeholders in e-bike safety. Not just the kids who ride. And not just the bike shops that sell them. Certainly they’re on the list, but we now know that there are many stakeholders — people whose lives are impacted by e-bike safety in their community.

First responders were among the first to step up and lend their voices to help with the Incline Program, sharing what it means, emotionally, to deal with the aftermath of a crash. Police value our book, The Caring Parent’s E-Bike Survival Guide, and certainly parents are a major stakeholder group.

So, if you’re not sure which service would serve you best, please reach out. You can start small with a book, and then see if something more is needed to fully serve your community. If the police are currently teaching all e-bike safety courses in your community, you might want to learn more about how an e-bike rodeo can be developed into a robust and effective solution.
