Bike share is an innovative and fun 24/7 transportation system. It is designed for short point-to-point trips. Users are provided with the ability to download a mobile app, sign up for the system and pick up a bike from any of the convenient bike hubs and return it to any other hub within the system area.

Bolt’s bikes are electric assist (motorized) to give you a subtle boost during your ride. Since they are pedal assist, all you need to do is start pedaling normally and the motor will engage on its own.
