The City of Davis and UC California Davis have created a new bike and scooter share program with vendor Spin (Spin E-Bikes and E-Scooters Launching in Davis This Fall). I was in Davis yesterday, and did not see any of the bikes or scooters, but I was not looking for them. There is going to be a slow roll-out, and I don’t know how many are on the street yet.

Davis was previously part of the JUMP/Uber bike-share regional system, but dropped out when JUMP pulled out of the area. JUMP/Uber was bought, in part, by Lime and Lime now operates with former JUMP bikes in Sacramento and West Sacramento.

Davis is requiring that devices be parked correctly, with economic consequences for not parking properly, in order to meet one of the main concerns about earlier programs. Spin will make adaptive devices available on request, which were not available in the earlier programs.

Spin Access offers lower prices for people who qualify based on CalFresh or similar low-income programs. Note that Davis is not yet listed as a city option, but it should be soon.
