Birmingham Will Get North America's First Electric-Assist Bike Share

Source: PeopleForBikes

Scheduled to launch in mid-September, REV BikeShare will have 40 stations and 400 bicycles supplied by Bewegen. A quarter of that fleet will be pedelec, with operators having the option of retrofitting others later, depending on demand. The two types of bicycles will look nearly identical, with only a sticker or marking on the fender skirt to let riders know which type of ride they can expect.
