One hundred electric pedal-assist bikes will be available for hire, each coming with a helmet, a lock and lights. They will cost $1 to unlock and 38 cents per minute to use, the same price as Lime's e-scooters.
The bikes will have a range of 30 to 60 kilometres and people can hire them using the Lime or Uber apps.

Christchurch City Council has approved the project’s procurement plan, which means construction can now go out to tender.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the aim was for construction to begin in early 2021 with the facility opening towards the end of 2022.
“This is very welcome news for the community, who have been campaigning for years to have a facility like this to fill the very real gap in library and recreation services in their corner of town. This new community facility is going to be a good investment in Hornby’s future and will provide work for our local construction sector.”
The council is investing $35.7m into the centre which will be built on the east side of Kyle Park. An early works package will be tendered first, to get the site prepared, starting in early 2021. The main construction work will be tendered separately, and will get underway in midway through next year.
Architectural firm Warren and Mahoney developed the concept designs for the 4000 square metre Hornby Centre following discussions with the community.
The new centre will have a range of community and recreational spaces, including a library, a lane pool, a learn-to-swim pool, a toddlers’ wet play area, a spa pool and a customer services zone.
There is also an espresso bar, a creative activities room, and multipurpose rooms that community groups can use for meetings.
A hydrotherapy pool could be included in the facility at a later date. The council said it was not currently in the scope of the project, but the Greater Hornby residents association and Hornby Rotary were coordinating a community fundraising effort so one could be added.

The village library also gives her a chance to meet her village neighbours and have a chat.
Judy’s health took a serious turn a year ago, prompting her to move into the village and into a one bedroom apartment overlooking the street.
“I lived alone and my sons were worried about me because I began falling and I couldn’t get out. Then I thought I need to be sensible here and do something about it. For me it was important I stayed in the area and I guess it was important that I knew somebody here.”
After selling her house and the village team holding the apartment she’d chosen, Judy followed Harvey, her next-door neighbour of many years, into Bupa Parkstone Retirement Village. The village team had kept in contact with her for a number of months before she’d decided to move in, inviting her to regular village functions during that time.
“There’s everything going on here for you, you couldn’t ask for more. There’s a superb manager who not only manages but she’s also a social worker and everything else with it.”
Judy says the move from a house on a back section meant safety and security was a top priority when deciding on a village.
“There’s always someone here at the front desk and they have security regularly checking too. It’s so important to me.”
Coming from a big house into an apartment hasn’t bothered Judy, and now with her health regularly monitored she is really embracing retirement village life. There’s the weekly grocery shopping at the local supermarket next door and the regular Tai Chi sessions that relax her by slowing her breathing.
“I very much want to be independent for as long as I can and I get to do that here. I also get to continue with lots of reading in lovely surroundings too.”

New Zealand Police's Financial Intelligence Unit estimates New Zealanders lose $20-30 million annually to scams.
HOW TO AVOID A SCAM:
+ A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you to ask for your PIN, password or to move money to another account.
+ Never click on a link in an unexpected email or text – you could be giving access to your personal and financial details.
+ Always question uninvited approaches in case it is a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.
+ Don’t assume an email or phone call is authentic – just because someone knows your basic details (name and address, or mother’s maiden name) it doesn’t mean they are genuine.
+ Don’t be rushed into making a decision or financial transaction on the spot – a genuine bank or trusted organisation would never do this.
+ Listen to your instincts – if something feels wrong then it generally is.
If you believe you are the victim of a scam you can contact Police and report the matter via 105.
