Jump’s new commitment is to give capitals another mobility option and reduce the car’s impact on the environment.
To use these electric bikes you only have to select the “travel” option in the Uber app, located at the top of the screen and then choose a bike.
The app will identify the drive closest to the user’s location so they can book it.
Once the bike is removed, people will have up to 10 minutes to get closer to the point where the vehicle is located, scan the QR code of the unit and start their journey.
