The Bay Area network is adding 2,000 e-bikes to meet their growing popularity.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Lyft announced the addition of 2,000 e-bikes and 55 docking stations to the San Francisco Bay Area’s Bay Wheels bike share system, according to a CBS News article. The new stations will be in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville.
The system is also lowering the membership cost from $169 to $150 and the per-minute cost from 20 cents to 15 cents.
“E-bikes are used three times as often as conventional pedal bikes by Bay Wheels riders. The next generation of e-bikes will have longer battery life, a more powerful motor for going uphill, and better theft deterrents, according to the MTC and Lyft.”
