 🆕 Lyft Urban Solutions unveils next-gen bikes

Sponsored by Lyft Urban Solutions

Lyft Urban Solutions has unveiled its next-generation fleet, featuring an all-new electric bike and a reimagined pedal bike. Each vehicle is purposefully designed to offer a best-in-class rider experience, perfectly suited for bikeshare systems with charging station networks, and offering the flexibility for both in-dock and out-of-station parking. 

The electric model features adaptive pedal assist, app-controlled locking for mid-ride pauses and out-of-station parking, and a dynamic rider interface. The pedal bike is agile, intuitive, and offers best-in-class connectivity for seamless operations. Together, these bikes form a flexible, future-ready fleet built for both operational efficiency and an unparalleled rider experience.

“These bikes represent the future of urban mobility,” said Michael Brous, Head of Lyft Urban Solutions. “They’re designed to integrate seamlessly with how people already travel, making every journey more enjoyable.”

⛔️ I Predict A Riot

PSG made history when they won the Champions League for the first time 2 weeks ago. Ridership in Paris boomed for dockless bike operators : Dott experienced a 70-100% increase in trips compared to the previous weekend, and Lime hit 100,000 trips in a day for the very first time.

Unfortunately, the celebrations were marred by riots and violence, with shared mobility vehicles falling victim to vandalism. Both operators are said to have lost 40-50 vehicles, some of them being used as weapons or projectiles.
