You don’t have to own your own bicycle to get around New Haven by bike. Ride New Haven (operated by Drop Mobility) is New Haven’s e-bikeshare. Ride New Haven has hubs around the city to pick up bikes and start riding.

How it works:

  1. Download the “Ride New Haven” app via iOS or Google.
  2. Register and choose your plan.
  3. Find a bike. Tap “Scan” and scan the QR code on the handlebar.
  4. Ride. Remove the lock tether and secure it to the hook under the seat. Put on your helmet and enjoy the ride.
  5. Park. Park correctly within the service area. You can check the app for instructions.
  6. See Ride New Haven’s website and Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
  7. Return. To end your ride, lock your bike at a Ride New Haven rack. Use the tether to secure the bike to the rack and loop it over the lock. Secure the lock and then use the app to end your trip.
