\n Citi Bike\u2019s fleet of pedal-assist e-bikes has barely grown since its February launch despite a pledge to put \u201cthousands\u201d on city streets by the summer, its parent company admitted on Monday.<\/p>\n

Lyft now promises only \u201chundreds\u201d of e-bikes this summer, Gothamist first reported \u2014 a marginal increase over the 300 or so currently service.<\/p>\n

Lyft rep Julie Wood told the site the delays were caused by coronavirus-related supply chain issues, as well as limited labor capacity. Lyft laid off 17 percent of its workforce in April.<\/p>\n

The slowdown comes almost two years after Citi Bike, under previous ownership, introduced 1,000 pedal-assisted electric bikes to its massive 12,000-bike fleet in November 2018.<\/p>\n

The e-bikes\u00a0were enormously popular in the few months they were out on the street, averaging three times the number of rides per bike per day than the company\u2019s non-electric models. But the fleet lasted just seven months before being pulled due to rider complaints of over-responsive brakes.<\/p>\n

Lyft unveiled the current e-bike model this past February, with an initial rollout of just 250 bikes, according to Streetsblog.<\/p>\n

At the time, the company promised a \u201cgradual\u201d increase to \u201cthousands\u201d by the summer.<\/p>\n

As of Monday afternoon, however, just 80 pedal assist bikes were available for rent across the city, according to publicly-available Citi Bike stats posted on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An e-bike trip<\/a> costs 10 cents per minute for Citi Bike subscribers, 5 cents per minute for \u201creduced fare\u201d subscribers and 15 cents per minute for non-subscribers.<\/p>\n

The company did not immediately return a request for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
