Uber has launched a pilot for its Jump e-bikes service in Islington, London, with 350 bikes available to hire for £0.12 ($0.15) per minute, plus £1 to unlock the bike. It was almost a year ago that Uber won a hotly contested appeal in the London courts to get an extension of its vehicle-operating license in London (which had been snapped away from it by angry regulators) while it worked on fixing some of the issues that it had with its service: adding more environment-friendly, and car traffic congestion-reducing, options like e-bikes is also part of that effort. The company says it will be rolling out more than 100 of these electric bicycles over the next few months.
