Indeed, those are intimidating. Perhaps you are talking about after some expansion, but today those hills are irrelevant to CitiBike pricing as there are no docks north of the 130's and you're not...

As a matter of personal convenience, sure.

But as a matter of public policy, we're already paying for the expense and energy to run that late train. It makes no sense to stock e-bike batteries...

Ride must begin or end OUTSIDE MANHATTAN

Just saw a Jump/Uber e-bike parked in the 40's and had a look. SA rear hub, hub motor on the front.... with a disc brake. So that's how the other team solved the problem.

How will people ever climb the boat basin detour?

My read on the text is that the city council or other applicable locality would have the option to post signs allowing it. Hopefully they could be...

The only motor is in the front hub, operated by some sort of crank sensor.

As for what all is going on in the front wheel hub assembly, it's hard to know - the Daily News article claims to quote...
