How it works
It’s so easy.

2. Ride
Hop on and start cruisin’.
3. Park
Find an open space at any docking station. When the lock-in light turns green, you’re all set.
Meet the bikes
Cruise with a classic bike. Or try an ebike for a bit of a boost. Whatever you prefer, Bluebikes has you covered.
The ebike
Power up your ride with double the battery life, a stronger motor, and more seat-height options. With speeds up to 18 MPH, these custom pedal-assist ebikes give you the power to tackle bridges, shorten your commute, and see more in less time. Just start pedaling and the power kicks in. Riding after sunset? See—and be seen—with a bright LED front light and reflective paint.
Classic rides
Our sturdy classic bicycles were designed for easy riding in an urban environment. Just take a look at their durable tires, responsive brakes, reflectors, and self-powered LED lights. They were built to be comfortable for any type of rider, regardless of height, riding ability, or zodiac sign.
