A German-based startup, Dance, is launching an e-bike subscription service in Berlin.
For a monthly fee of EU 79, users will receive a custom-designed electric bike and fast access to on-demand repair and maintenance services. Dance has even designed its own e-bike to complete the service. The vehicle is called the Dance One and features a heavy and durable aluminum frame that weighs roughly 48 pounds. The bike moves at a single speed and is fueled by an electric motor. The lithium battery can easily be removed from the bike and recharged at home. The designers made sure to add this feature that way, users do not have to carry their bikes up the stairs.
There is no time commitment or upfront charges to join Dance's subscription service - making this service convenient and affordable.
