In December 2023, Cambridge joined Boston, Somerville, Everett, Brookline and system sponsor Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts in welcoming 750 next-generation e-bikes into the region’s Bluebikes bicycle fleet. The integration of these new e-bikes grew the overall Bluebikes fleet to 5,000 bikes across 500 regional stations by summer 2024.
As the region’s bikeshare system, Bluebikes has expanded steadily since its introduction in 2011. Usage has increased, especially in the warmer months between April and October.
Bluebikes’ e-bikes, which are manufactured by Lyft and were named one of TIME’s 100 Best Inventions of 2022, feature a smooth ride with pedal-assist technology, a single gear transmission, a long-lasting battery with a 60-mile range, a user-friendly interface LCD screen, and safety upgrades such as LED light and reflective paint for increased visibility.
