JUMP, which launched dockless bike share system in the US in 2013, rents the electric bike at a cost of approximately $2 for 30 minutes in the home country. Competitive pricing when compared to the taxi sharing rides and the ease of riding gives a great advantage to the e-bike sharing companies. But Uber will have tough competition in Germany from its rivals, which include Obike, Mobike, and LimeBike.
Uber will start renting electric bikes in Berlin from this summer and in other European cities later
Following the rival’s footpath, the San Francisco, California-based ride-sharing company Lyft is reported to grab Motivate, a New York City-based bicycle sharing company. In February, Lyft partnered with Baltimore bike share app in a three-year deal.
Well, we are hoping all these efforts pay off, both for the companies and the environment.
