After a 2 year pause I'm rebooting this program at my company to get people on two wheels. A lot of the options I might have had in 2020 have closed or are not renting bikes right now. Fremont supposedly has HOPR bikes, but I think they are not allowed into Newark. Any suggestions are welcome...

Hey Bay Area people, I am working on a program at my company to encourage people to try eBikes instead of their single occupant vehicles. I have secured funding to get the company to pay for eBike rentals for employees who want to test their actual commute. Since we are located in Newark, I'm...
