EXCLUSIVE: Citi Bike to Add E-Tandems to Fleet on April 1 - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

Citi Bike is set to launch electric tandem bikes in its fleet starting April 1, aiming to enhance the biking experience for couples and boost ridership. The tandem bikes will reach speeds of 18 mph and will come with a new docking system that utilizes a complete parking space for each bike. Despite an increase in pricing, enthusiasm among potential users is high, as it provides a more convenient option for couples. A spokesperson hinted at challenges from local lawmakers regarding space repurposing, but public reception remains positive.
Imagine how great it would be to be able to bike with that someone special? Now you won't have to try to squeeze next to each other in a bike lane.
This is great because instead of getting two day passes, we can get just one.
To accommodate the new bikes, Citi Bike will also deploy an entirely new docking system that will require the repurposing of a full parking space each.
