After Uber bought Jump, the riders started cycling electronically instead of ordering cars

It's been a year since the bright red Jump electric bikes started appearing on the streets of San Francisco. It has also been a year since you can rent electric bicycles via the Uber app as part of a pilot bike sharing program for the remote monitoring application.

During those 12 months, many have fallen: Uber bought Jump, electronic scooters were launched by Jump in some cities and Uber promised to become "the Amazon of transport". Jump did some calculations and found that his year in San Francisco was as busy as Uber's.

Jump's Friday numbers indicate that 63,000 runners in San Francisco have made more than 625,000 trips, spanning more than 1.6 million miles. San Francisco has limited the number of bicycles to 250 until it doubles the size of the fleet in October 2018. Bicycles can be locked on any rack or station and do not require quay.

That's a lot of rides, but what's remarkable are the numbers after Uber acquired Jump in April. Full integration with the travel control application has deterred people from taking this type of action. Uber trips have decreased by 10%. Uber trips were moved with even more jumping bike rides during the week's busy workday: Uber trips dropped by 15% during those times. These are also the most congested periods in the city.

In July, Jump examined the impact of bikes on Uber's car travel in the city. Since then, Jump says that the trend has continued. The jump became a more popular option during the day, while riders opted for a longer Uber car during the night.

Jump started in Washington, DC, but after being launched in San Francisco, his bikes (and his electronic scooters) spread to other cities like Sacramento, Austin, Denver, Atlanta and San Diego. In January, Jump launched its new generation battery-powered bike with retractable cable lock and touch screen.

All these data show how bicycles, scooters and even public transportation can work together to get people to move. The demand for San Francisco jump bikes is particularly remarkable: each bike performs an average of seven races a day. Now, it's a bike part.
