The bikes have quickly become a favorite for commuters, tourists, and everyone in between as a way to get around without having to be stuck in a car or traffic. Jump became popular because of the incredibly low cost to rent them. 

Uber acquired Jump and launched it as a pilot program in early 2018 in select cities. The cost to rent the electronic bikes varies from city to city, …
