Arlington, Fairfax County and the District of Columbia on March 20 became the first jurisdictions in the region to serve as launch locations for Capital Bikeshare’s next-generation electric bicycle.
Approximately 850 of the e-bikes, manufactured by Lyft, will roll out across the communities over the next month.
Capital Bikeshare members will pay 10 cents per minute for use and $2 to park the bike outside of a station. Non-members will pay $1 to unlock the bike and 15 cents per minute.
The e-bikes provide an electric assist that, coupled with the rider’s pedal power, can make them go up to 20 mph.
