No date is set for Richmond’s e-bike program to resume, but Mayor Tom Butt said the city is “on the road to reviving it.”
The city is now planning to launch additional hubs to provide 300 e-bikes for residents and visitors after legal details regarding bike ownership are ironed out by the city attorney’s office. According to Mayor Tom Butt, managers of the venture capital fund that developed the original bikes’ program software and design helped Richmond’s transportation officials on Aug. 8 unlock, remove and store the remaining bikes in a secure city facility.
. “Imagine how embarrassed I would have been to accept an award for a project that no longer existed, although its demise was no fault of the city.” “Having an electric bike means you can go farther and people who are not in the greatest shape or don’t have that much energy can participate, just like everybody else,” Butt said in an interview Monday. “This was approved unanimously, which I think shows you the broad level of support it has on a city council that otherwise is deeply divided over a lot of issues.
“Prior to this decision, Bolt Mobility had every intention of remaining fully operational and even to expand into additional markets. Any suggestion otherwise is wholly inaccurate,” the statement said, adding that 25 of Bolt’s 33 markets are still operating. “Investors failing to deliver on their commitment toward funding Bolt Mobility in no way reflects upon our team’s substantial achievements of the last five years.
