JUMP Bike Share System Launches
In May, the cities of Davis, Sacramento, and West Sacramento, in partnership with JUMP, have launched the largest pedal-assist bike share system in North America. The system launched with 300 electric-assist bikes spread across the three cities, and an additional 600 bikes will be rolled out throughout the summer. Bike share hubs will also be installed throughout the cities to add bike parking infrastructure. The newly installed bike share hubs can be used by both JUMP bikes and privately owned bikes.
The cost to use the bikes is $1 for 15 minutes and 7¢ a minute afterward. Additional membership options include a monthly rate, a low-income plan, and a student plan. To use the system, users can download the JUMP Bike app on their smartphone through Google Play or the App Store and create an account. Once users have created an account, they can use a bike when they see it or find one through the map on the app.
