The wait for MetroBike’s makeover is almost over — its new fleet of electric-assist bikes will launch in July.
What’s in the reboot?
- A new name, BikeShare, and a new look
- Revamped docking stations and more locations
- Bikes will feature automatic motors with all-pedal assist, enhanced stability, and inline battery placement
- A new BikeShare app
To prepare for the transition, MetroBike services will end Monday, July 1. Here’s what cyclists should know:
- Purchases have been paused on 31-day and annual passes
- As current equipment is retired, bikers may experience issues with bikes or stations
- CapMetro will work to resolve issues in the interim, but will not invest in outgoing equipment
- Account holders will receive a transfer email from CapMetro in July
BikeShare will debut via a rolling launch of the new stations and bikes starting in mid-July, and expects to be fully switched over in the fall.
