City of Montreal | Ville de Montréal

Purpose

Montreal’s bike share system is one of the largest in North America, with 9,400 bicycles, including 2,330 electrically assisted bicycles, and 820 stations. However, most of the stations are not electrified as there are significant costs associated with the infrastructure and excavation work required. The City of Montreal is continuing to expand its bike share system. Over the next three years, it plans to acquire new stations that will have the potential to be electrified and will be able to charge electrically assisted bicycles. The project submitted by the City of Montreal has two parts: electrification of the stations and acquisition of new equipment (stations).
