Ride like a superhero

With speeds up to 18 mph, these custom pedal-assist bikes give you the power to tackle bridges, chop your commute in half and experience more neighborhoods in less time. Just start pedaling and the power kicks in.

How to get going

Find a bike. Use the Citi Bike app and look for the lightning bolt icon.

Power on. When stopped, press the power button on battery (it’s below the handlebars on the downtube) to activate pedal-assist. You'll see up to four green lights flash and then one steady green light that indicates power is on.

Undock & dock as usual. Rent from any available station using your smartphone or key fob and park them at any station in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens.

When you upgrade to an electric bike, it will be an additional $2/ride. Citi Bike is waiving this for annual members through April 27, 2019.
