Jump just landed in Denver a few days ago with dockless electric bikes. I've taken two rides so far.

These blow scooters right out of the water. I can get exercise and extra speed by pedaling along with the motor. Their app passed the ride data to my iPhone's health app for activity tracking.

Other bonuses come to mind. If it should run out of charge, it would be a heavy bike. People don't look as dorky on bikes.

I don't get why people are angry about scooters, but these E-bikes are awesome and I'd much rather use them given the choice. I'd love to see E-bikes take over as the dominant way of getting around.

P.S. Almost forgot to mention: that thing was fun! (No, I'm not affiliated with Jump/Uber).
