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

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 $3 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. Per-minute ebike fees also do not apply in San Jose.

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.

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.

See map of service area above.

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.
