Benefits of e-bikes include easier use, accessibility, greater and faster distance travelled, and a whole lot more.

The first station is located near Cégep Marie-Victorin, in Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles.

Since its launch, BIXI has become one of the city's greatest transportation networks.

According to the release, Montreal has the largest fleet of self-service electrically-assisted bicycles in Canada and one of the largest in North America.
