Council back in October approved legislation allowing the number of vehicles to increase -- where before 7,000 scooters and 4,000 e-bikes were allowed, by October 1, 2023, 20,000 would be allowed -- but also required that "services provide a way for the devices to be locked to racks or poles." That requirement goes into effect on October 1, 2021.

9. BSHARE_210620_14.JPG: These look like they are InMotion SoloWheel Glide 2 models. They cost $699 From https://www.myinmotion.com/blogs/news/electric-unicycle-buying-guide-2019-which-wheel-is-right-for-you V5F / Glide 2 Champion Of Portability, Lowest Price Point Glide 2 Product Page Looking for something ultra-portable? V5F is the smallest electric unicycle InMotion makes, but the 14" tire is still large enough to offer a very smooth ride. This model also offers the most affordable entry-point into our world of electric unicycles, and for many, the speed and range is perfectly adequate for their needs. Others may eventually wish to upgrade to V8 or V10 for more range and speed after the initial learning phase. However, in urban environments where portability is king and the V5F serves as a last-mile solution, it's hard to beat this small form factor. While the power, range, and speed are noticeably less compared to InMotion's larger models, it is still very capable of providing a safe and stable ride for adults within our payload guidelines. With the same safety warning system of it's two bigger siblings, V5F will let you know when you are pushing the limits of the hardware, but riders should always remember it's still possible to overpower the system if caution is not taken in riding habits. Payload Recommendation: Structural support is rated up to 260lbs by InMotion, but for payloads of 180lbs or more, we recommend V8 or V10 - especially in challenging environments such as hill climbing or colder ambient temperatures.

18. BSHARE_210426_05.JPG: I'm also running into more people driving these electric hoverboard things. I talked to someone at the National World War I Memorial about the one he and his companion were riding. He said the main ones were all made by a company named OneWheel ( https://onewheel.com/products/xr ). He said he had heard some places rented them but most of the ones he knew of were user-owned. I asked how much they cost. There are two models. The cheapest is the Pint which costs from $950 and up. Its range is 6-8 miles, reaches 16 mph, weighs 23 pounds, and takes two hours to charge (50 minutes if you spring for the Ultracharger). But he clearly thought that model was crap. The one they were riding was the XR which costs $1,799. Its range is 12-18 miles, reaches 19 mph, weighs 27 pounds, and takes 60 minutes to charge ("with hypercharger -- 110 minutes with home charger"). The website lists accessories. The XR Home Hypercharger is $210. The Pint Ultracharger is $110. I love how they had to come up with two different names to indicate fast charger. I didn't know there was a difference between "ultra" and "hyper" but according to https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-differences-between-ultra-hyper-and-super , it goes super --> ultra --> hyper so OneWheel got it right. I have no idea if there's something beyond hyper which may cause problems if they introduce another model ("super hypercharger"?). There is a OneWheel app of course. It connects your Apple/Android to your board over Bluetooth and warns you of things like low batteries, battery overcharge alerts, "point of no return" (you've exceeded half of the battery charge so good luck getting home), etc. The guy was excited by the thing. He said the wheel was a go-cart wheel (I'm not sure why that warranted mention). To go, you put your feet on both sides of the wheel and go. He admitted it was heavy but said he had never had to carry it home after running out of juice -- instead he carries a recharger in his backpack on every trip. He said as far as he knew, the device was allowed everywhere including around national memorials. He said he was former military and he obeys rules so he checked for restrictions and didn't find any. He said though that, again, as a former military, he would never ride it into a war memorial. Keep in mind he said this while he was talking to me from the middle of the National World War I Memorial. Afterward, I asked the ranger about whether they were allowed. She said she didn't know but both of us thought the "no motorized vehicles" restriction covered this sort of thing.

20. BSHARE_210403_06.JPG: Lime e-scooter rentals From https://www.intelligenttransport.com/transport-news/116120/lime-e-moped/ Lime launches e-mopeds in Washington DC and Paris Lime is set to launch electric mopeds to go alongside its scooter and bike offerings in Washington DC and Paris, which it says are perfect for longer journeys. Lime, one of the world's leading operators of shared electric vehicles, today announced it will add electric mopeds to its growing platform of e-bikes and e-scooters. Lime says its mopeds will enable riders to make any urban trip with safe, affordable and sustainable light electric vehicles via the Lime app. Lime aims to introduce mopeds in a handful of cities early this spring, with Paris and Washington DC being the first cities to pilot the service in the coming months. Lime's addition of mopeds means it will now offer three shared electric vehicles on its platform. The Lime moped will, according to the operator, compliment its e-bikes and e-scooters, and are ideal for longer-distance trips between two-to-five miles. "The addition of electric mopeds to our fleet of e-bikes and e-scooters is another major step in our goal of ensuring access to affordable, carbon-free shared transportation in cities around the world" said Wayne Ting, CEO of Lime.

  Setting up a new SmartBike DC station outside of the Portrait Gallery. Here's a description of the service from https://www.smartbikedc.com/default.asp How to use SmartBike DC: SmartBike DC is accessible via online subscription for an annual membership. After accepting the User Agreement and payment, subscribers will receive a personalized SmartBike DC user card that provides access to any station of the program at any time. Subscribers must be 18 years or older. SmartBike DC uses horizontal racks for docking and parking of bicycles. The easy to identify vertical column that is attached to one end of the rack contains all elements to process the rental operations. Program Information: Clear Channel Outdoor together with the District Department of Transportation are excited to bring to Washington DC the first self-service public bike rental program. SmartBike DC is a new and alternative transportation network that uses the latest technologies to facilitate user access and is structured to enhance the city's public transportation system. Historians of bike sharing programs all credit Clear Channel Outdoor with a pioneering role. The very first self-service bike rental program was ours in the city of Rennes in France in 1998, and subsequently, our programs rapidly spread to Scandinavia and Spain. SmartBike is the only bike rental program of its kind in the world: well tested, user and environmentally friendly and complementary to other modes of public transportation. Please visit us also at Clear Channel Smartbike.com for more information. Located at key locations in the central business district, the bikes provide a new way of discovering and moving around the city. The bike stations are modular and the bikes are ergonomic and light-weight in a distinct design. Bikes are parked at docking points which use a proprietary locking system to ensure that each bike is securely stored. The service is accessible via online subscription. Subscribers will receive a personalized SmartBike DC user card that provides access to any station of the program. The turnkey program includes fulltime operational service. Clear Channel Outdoor's operational team manages the rotation of bikes for each station to assure a proper ratio between available bikes as well as drop-off locations.
