Prices To Spike For Electric Citi Bikes Starting This Week

Taking a Citi Bike is a wonderful way to stay active while getting to your destination in a timely matter. Riding a Citi Bike ebike, which uses pedal-assist technology, will get you there even faster!

However, beginning Wednesday, July 10th, there will be an increase in rider prices to cover the costly expenses of battery swapping, insurance, and vehicle expenses that are required by ebikes. So let’s break down what new fees you can expect based on your membership status. Note there will be no change in the price of the general annual membership, single ride pass, day pass, or the monthly membership for reduced fare bike share members.
