A new pilot program could be the next step in making e-bikes a more convenient alternative form of transportation in Nashville — but a Metro councilmember worries the program could be held back by high rates.

The program, set to launch in the coming weeks, will be dockless and include 75 e-bikes, managed by Bird, Lime and Spin. It will encompass a large portion of the city covering South and West Nashville, excluding downtown, East Nashville and The Gulch. With bikes a popular form of urban transportation, a spotlight has been placed on Nashville’s lack of bike-centric infrastructure recently.
