After hitting a speed bump last year, Citi Bike’s electric bikes, also known as E-bikes, have returned to city streets.
Ten months ago Lyft, the company that owns Citi Bike, pulled its original fleet of E-bikes from the bike-share system because of a breaking problem. The force of the breaks put too much pressure on the front wheel, causing some riders to fly off the bikes. The company has redesigned the bicycles, putting the motor in the back, and redesigned the braking system.
Is it just me? But I always notice the people who use a E-bike is usually an overweight or really scrawny looking person. They often look like they don't have good balance and about to fall off the E-bike when they hit bumps.
I like them but they're oddly expensive rides compared to the subway. An e-bike trip can easily go over $8+ for the equivalent of a 3 subway stop ride for $2.75.
Wait, e bike while surrounded by cars, trucks, busses ? No thank you. Why would anyone take that risk?
Pick your poison.
Subway? While surrounded by bums, crazies, and druggies??
