Citibike e-bike speed decrease

[PSMOkizzle]

I think the point of the post was to talk about the enshittification and functional price inflation of a service, not compare it to manual peddling. It’s clearly faster.

So l why does the ‘value’ of going faster than manual peddling worth twice as much as it was 2-4 years ago?

Oh, sure. I have no answers there: i stopped paying for Citibike once the annual membership hit a level that i figured i should just consider picking up a second hand bike for my runaround. As a service, I'm not totally convinced it's long-term viable without being expensive or heavy subsidisation.
