The big news here is that they’ve replaced the $1 flat fee for electric bikes with a metered rate of 10 cents per minute, which will make them a lot more expensive for any trip longer than 10 minutes. I suppose this will earn Bixi a bit more money while also keeping the electric bikes in heavier circulation, since there were times last summer when people were clearly using them for long joyrides.
Another big change is the replacement of the flat one-way fare with a metered rate, which will make things cheaper for casual users who don’t have a membership.

Lol I was one of those joyriders. I used to use them to go up Camilien Houde, to test them out on super-steep inclines, and to check out the residential neighbourhoods up the hills. I find them less impressive on flat ground.

Me too. They are amazing on hills. On several occasions I biked from St-Henri to Mile End via Westmount and the mountain, which would have been torture on a regular bike.
I also tended to max out the 45 minutes in order to get as much value from that extra dollar…
