The dockless jump bikes seemed to be locked to something. I think it's a requirement for riders to lock them after use, and so far, they haven't been cluttering SF.
Maybe that is the compromise. No docks, but have to be locked to some sort of normal bike rack to prevent clutter. The manufacturer / city isn't responsible for maintaining expensive dock infrastructure where company A cant use company B's docks, and apartments & businesses can create bike parking space in an adhoc manner, making the over all market more efficient.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 9y agoDo they have the same problem other bike rental companies have had in SF where users ride them to the bottom of the hills where they just stack up?
- Pxtl 9y agoMost cities aren't as hilly as SF.
- woolvalley 9y agoI would think that ebikes would cause stacking at the top of hills, since it does all the work for you :p Being serious, I have no idea. I think all bike systems will need rebalancing of some sort. Be it through cheaper pricing or other incentives or something else.
