RIDE EXPERIENCE

Get to know BIKETOWN

Expanding access to every corner of the city

BIKETOWN is Portland’s first micromobility system, with more than 3,000 ebikes and scooters available at over 240 stations across Portland’s neighborhoods. Meet the fleet, get trip tips, and do the city right.

How it works

It’s so easy.

1. Unlock it

Pick out a bike and use the BIKETOWN or Lyft app to scan its QR code.

2. Ride it

Hop on and start cruisin’.

3. Lock it

There is no fee to park at a BIKETOWN station. Park at any public bike rack within the service area for $1.
Be sure you lock the bike at the end of every trip.
(No parking fee east of 72nd Ave.)

Meet the new BIKETOWN ebike

With a pedal-assist motor to supercharge your ride, our new ebikes are the easiest way to get around Portland — without breaking a sweat.

  • Enjoy 60 miles of battery life, which means more bikes available and fewer replacement batteries needed.

  • Triumph over hills and bridges sweat-free thanks to a seamless, single gear transmission.

  • See, and be seen, more easily with a brighter headlight and reflective paint.

  • Made for folks tall and small who need different seat height options.

  • Get instructions on the LCD screen and speaker about unlocking, parking, and more.

Meet the scooter

This new scooter offers several great features including dual handbrakes, turn signals, a phone holder and charger, suspension and a sturdier build with a more powerful motor to give riders more confidence on the road.

Meet the ebike

With speeds up to 20 MPH, our custom pedal-assist ebikes give you the power to tackle bridges, shorten your commute, and see more in less time. Just start pedaling and the power kicks in. It’s like magic. Except it’s science. Or, who knows, maybe something in between.
