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?

    and if it is not do I get a reward for unintentionally storing them?
    can I get rewarded for reporting them?

    You can get a bounty for charging them and returning them (probably only after signing up with them to do this). I have no idea about returning abandoned bikes not found on the roads.
