A new subscription e-bike service starting in Toronto... apparently they started out in January, but I saw an article about them yesterday.
www.ridezygg.com
They're not hop-on/hop-off like scooter rentals, but a subscription service so you treat it like "your" bike, and they supposedly have a drop off replacement service if your Zygg bike is having issues.
On that front, I DO like it because it "kind of" encourages better behaviour. One of the problems I've noticed with scooters like Lime is the ride-n-dump behaviour of the users.
No idea on what the motors are.
The prices below are based on a 1-year commitment, but they have 2-week trials, and shorter commitment terms (more expensive of course0.
Model M $69/month - up to 60km/charge - Seems overpriced too me. I actually saw one of these on a ride this weekend. The frame looks familiar, but I can't identify the name.
Model G $99/month - up to 175km/charge - this one looked similar to a Gazelle bike, and when I snipped the below image it had "Easyflow" in the file name.
Its silhouette is IDENTICAL to the 2019 Gazelle Easyflow. If this IS a rebranded Easyflow, the pricing seems fair, as the Easyflow sells for about $3200 Canadian. A three year commitment on this would be a little more expensive, but if their repair/replace service is what they say it it, it's not a bad trade-off, especially for someone not mechanically inclined.
Model V $99/month - up to 60km/charge - I don't think I've seen this one before. Anyone recognize it?
It's an interesting design. Range and battery size (250wh) seems off. Maybe the site is wrong?
There's an article here about Zygg...
