Uber is offering a $5.00 off your first ride, you just need to enter the code Montreal19C.
Uber’s Jump electric bike-sharing service officially launched their service Wednesday morning, distributing their distinctive bright red bikes around the city.
The electric bikes are pedal-assist, so the harder you pedal the faster you’ll go. An integrated GPS and lock means that you can find a bike near you and go for a ride
The bikes can be picked up and left anywhere, as long as they are affixed to a bike rack with a retractable lock included with the bike. Failing to do so may result in warnings, fines of $25 and a possible ban from renting.
The bikes cost 30 cents per minute to ride, or $9 for half an hour and users can use the Uber app on their smartphone to find nearby bikes and unlock them.
“Montreal is the first Canadian city to receive the Jump e-bikes. I would say it’s because of the openness of Mayor Valérie Plante,” spokesman Jean-Christophe de Le Rue told the Montreal Gazette. “These bikes are pedal-assisted electric, so you have to pedal, but there’s a motor that helps you go faster or go uphill. They go max 32 kilometres an hour, and it’s mandatory to wear a helmet.”
Five dollars off your first ride
