Below are the demonstration bikeshare bikes used for Montreal. Showing to public this weekend in Vancouver. The city has not selected any company yet. There 5 different companies worldwide that manufacture bikeshare systems.
Bikes don't give much options for people with smaller bodies. Do you think you could fit these bikes? They lowered the seat to lowest which was fine, but then my knees were too cramped because seat was too far back. I'm 5'1".
However, would the bike fit you for a short 15-30 min. ride?
Photo 2: There are solar panels on top of pole which power the credit card payment and electronic locking/docking station system. First 1/2 hr. free but you can extend the free time by returning bike into docking station on rack. Then take bike back out 5 min. later. It's legitimate.
Photo 3: The back wheel LED red lights automatically light up (night and day) as soon as you start pedalling.
There is software embedded in the system that is GPS oriented which will track "location" of individual bikes.
