Baltimore Bike Share (also referred to as Bmore Bikeshare) was a bicycle sharing system that served the city of Baltimore, Maryland. The system had more than 50 stations, all owned by the Baltimore City government, and operated in a public–private partnership with Bewegen Technologies and Corps Logistics.[1] Launched in 2016, Baltimore Bike Share had the largest electrical-assisted cycling (Pedelec) fleet in North America.[1][4]
On August 15, 2018, the Baltimore Bike Share system was cancelled at a cost[clarification needed] of $3.2 million and shut down immediately due to on-going problems with the system. Replacing the Baltimore Bike Share are dockless scooters and bicycles from startup companies Bird and LimeBike.[5]
