This first-of-its-kind hybrid ebike allows you to dock at any Bay Wheels stations or use the cable to lock to any bike rack within the service area. Anyone with a Bay Wheels membership will have access to discounted ebike prices.
Pay as you ride
Anyone with a Bay Wheels membership will have access to discounted ebike prices. Annual and monthly members who choose an ebike will pay $0.15 per minute with no unlock fee, and non-members will pay $0.20 per minute with a $2 unlock fee. These fees help cover the additional costs of batteries and charging.
If an ebike is the only option at a station, these per-minute fees will be waived.
Bike Share for All members will pay a discounted rate of $0.05 per minute for ebike trips, with all per-minute fees capped at $1.
For annual and monthly members, the per-minute ebike charges are capped at $2 for rides that start or end in neighborhoods currently less connected to transit (see map below).

Ebike Parking
Dock ebikes at any Bay Wheels station for free.
Parking an ebike at a bike rack, not docked at a station, will cost $2.
This fee will be waived if the bike is parked near a station with no empty docks available, or locked to a bike rack in part of the service area without stations (as shown below).
Ebike parking violations
Parking violations — including locking the ebike to itself, private property, trees, or any other structures as well as blocking pathways, sidewalks, or ramps — incur a $25 fee. You’ll be charged a $25 fee for parking your ebike outside of the service area.
Extra Time Fees
If you keep a bike out longer than the allowed time, members will have an extra charge of $2 for each additional 15 minutes. Non-members will be charged $3.
