the electric bike at scooter craze has
taken the nation by storm
tons of cities are getting on board but
for those of you stragglers who have yet
to experience just how quick and easy
one of these pays you go bike or scooter
services can be I'm here in Sacramento
where a company called jump has stolen
the show I know what you're thinking I
have to download it it probably costs
too much money and why would I bring a
bike but I could just walk or drive it's
true you probably do have to download
another app unless your area has jumped
sea jump is connected to Oberer and uber
lets you rent from the app you probably
already have here in Sacramento jump
bikes only cost 7 cents a minute
four dollars an hour but let's face it
these aren't very fun
you're never gonna ride for that long
scooters are a little pricier at fifteen
cents a minute and the minimum charge on
a ride is one dollar some cities charge
special fees as well so make sure
wherever you are you read the fine print
but it's still a bargain for a quick
haul across the city
the last holdup why pay to rent a bike
or scooter when you can just walk or
drive the answer parking fees metro
areas can cost an arm and a leg to park
with bike and scooter share you can park
for free and get to your destination for
a buck plus they're really fun jump
bikes are just like a regular bike but
with an electric assist so they'll go
just about as fast as you can pedal the
scooters are a different story they're
propelled entirely by an electric motor
and they top out at about 15 miles per
hour different areas have different
regulations though so check with the
company in your area before you take
those numbers as gospel biking scooter
share companies like bird lyft and uber
are popping up all over the country so
if they're in your area give them a try
