I was out when Lyft took over and sure enough, it's getting worse. Not only are the eBikes insanely expensive, you're basically gambling if you're even going to get a good one or not when you undock. Then, is it even maintained? More than half the time, the eBike might be full battery, but have terrible performance. Then on manual bikes, some shifters/gears are straight garbage.

All that's happened in the last three years is less mechanics and technicians servicing the bikes, more dead eBikes and battery switchers, and price increases. I know $200 a year is more attractive than servicing and owning a bike, but I really have a hard time justifying this for my own rec use.
