They might be, but I don't see any added value that bikes don't provide already.

So it can go faster, accelerate more quickly, and you can go longer distances. > Penetration would need to be way higher for the business to actually scale. Why? If you have those 3 cities you're already dealing with 10s of millions of potential customers.

Madrid does this very effectively. > If you have those 3 cities you're already dealing with 10s of millions of potential customers That would be the 100% penetration scenario, which is not realistic by any metric, especially in Boston and NYC where they already have strong and efficient public transportation networks.
