Today’s Word Bicycle Day, and we can celebrate it by looking at Lyft’s new ebike that will join its bikeshare electric fleet in the US.

The battery has multiplied in the limit from 500Wh to 1,000Wh — enough squeeze, Lyft says, for up to 96 kilometers of reach, contingent upon elements, for example, the rider’s weight and the number of slopes the bicycle climbs.

To make it simpler to use, there’s no stuff shifter. Instead, all things being equal, the ebike has a solitary stuff transmission that capacities naturally: the electric engine set on the back tire has sensors that acclimate to the rider’s force, rhythm, and speed. That is not awful by any stretch of the imagination.

To make a more easy-to-understand bicycle, Lyft has rolled out some more improvements. For instance, the new bicycle’s seat can be brought down by an extra three inches, which better obliges more limited riders. There’s likewise an improved seat cinch that acclimates to the driver’s stature. In addition, an underlying LED screen and speaker give riders directions for stopping, opening, and speed limits.

Safety-wise, apart from the new model’s higher-end hydraulic brakes, Lyft has dressed the bikes with custom-made retroreflective paint, which like street signs, helps illuminate the bikes and the riders, especially at night. The ebike’s visibility is also enhanced by the LED beacon lights that form a distinct light feature.

All in all, Lyft’s new bike comes with a more extended battery capacity, extra safety features, and greater ease of use.

According to the company, the first 100 bikes will arrive next week in San Francisco’s Bay Wheels system as part of a multi-week public beta test. The official mass roll-out is expected to start in Chicago’s Divvy program later this year.
