Interesting. I don't really know how branding works, but it looks like Citibank, and not Motivate, owns the Citi Bike brand; Citibank also sponsored Miami. The The look of the bikes, and of the Citi Bike Miami website, are almost identical to Citi Bike New York, even though they are completely different companies.
