Jesson a similar note, would you happen to know if there are Citi Bike has any plans to offer the option of low-assist mode for eBikes docked at stations that have classic bikes and not just when no classic bikes are available? For me there are two reasons why I'd like to see this:
1. I'm 6'3 and get knee problems when using classic bikes for long distances or when going up hills because the seat doesn't go high enough, but the next-gen eBike seats do go to the ideal height for my size.
2. On more than one occasion I don't get the pedal assist option for eBikes because there's one classic bike at a broken dock that can't be removed so I'm forced to pay for a full power eBike ride when I don't want to.
Hey there, RedDragon, great question! Thank you for your post explaining the use cases for pedal assist.
I'll ask around on my end and see if I can learn anything about the future of this feature. This might be a good topic to post on it's own to deepen visibility and see if other Angels would like this feature. Feel free to create a new post. 😇
