What is claimed to be the UK's first dockless electric bike hire service has begun, despite the risk of vandalism.
Lime said its motor-assisted bikes in Milton Keynes would be accessible for people of any age or fitness level.
They can be unlocked for £1, ridden for 15p per minute, then parked anywhere "responsibly" after use.
Santander pedal bikes can already be rented in the town for £1 per 30 minutes, but over half were vandalised and not in use during summer 2017.
More bikesharing makes it more convenient to cycle, but will drivers share the road?

For less than $100, I used a bikeshare for unlimited 30 minute trips per year. But I had to dock the bike. You could get more time by quickly docking and undocking the bike. I hear they are starting to add pedal-assist electric bikes to the system.
