How to get going

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

Power on. 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. When you hold and press the power button, make sure it has at least 2 green lights, and you’re good to go.
