New Citi Bike ebike pricing beginning July 10

Higher than anticipated battery swapping, insurance, and vehicle expenses have made ebike fleet operations more costly than planned. That’s why we’re adjusting ebike per-minute pricing.

To address high costs, we’re working with NYC DOT and Con Edison to pilot charging stations. A network of charging stations will reduce the need for van-based battery swapping. We'll continue to invest in more manual battery swapping to ensure you can find an ebike that’s charged and available for use. Ebike demand continues to grow—they now make up two-thirds of all Citi Bike rides.
