I've found that cities that have Jump bikes already have at least some amount of bike lanes, and having an electric assist motor helps a lot with mitigating traffic. Plus, they're bright red and have built-in lights, which makes them hard to miss. Speaking about bike shares more generally, owning a bike does involve a lot of maintenance. You forgo that by renting (and I'm sure it's priced to be competitive to the amortized cost of owning a bike and keeping it in tune). I love that sort of thing, but I'm not everyone. If this is the thing that gets people on bikes and off cars, I'm all for it.
