Citi Bike is implementing an age verification process for riders to comply with the 16-and-up policy mandated by City Hall. Lyft, the operator, aims to enhance safety amid increasing concerns about underage riders. While the method of age verification remains undecided, options may include uploading a driver's license or other identification. This new requirement follows the previous enforcement of a speed cap on e-bikes to 15 mph. Supporters believe this move is essential for protecting safety, especially for children.
City Hall has instructed Lyft, the operator of Citi Bike, to enforce a 16-and-up rule with an age verification process to enhance safety for underage riders.
Lyft will add an age verification process, potentially involving a driver's license upload or other identification, in response to concerns about underage riders on e-bikes.
The Adams administration previously capped Citi Bike's e-bike speeds to 15 mph due to safety concerns regarding underage teens riding the bikes.
Supporters of the age verification initiative believe it could save lives and make Citi Bike safer for all its users, especially children.
