Key bike sharing statistics
9,278,605 shared bikes operated in 2,145 bike-sharing systems across 1,700 cities in 92 countries (as of December 31, 2024).
The global bicycle sharing market was estimated at $9.26B in 2024 and projected to reach $16.44B by 2030.
In the U.S., station-based bike share trips reached 61M in 2023 (up from 53M in 2022).
U.S. station-based e-bike trips rose to 28M in 2023 (up from 20M in 2022).
Based on the above totals, station-based pedal-bike trips were about 33M in both 2022 and 2023, while e-bike trips accounted for most of the increase.
In 2023, the U.S. recorded 68M shared bike trips (within 133M total shared micromobility trips).
Global bicycle sharing market size
Market estimates point to steady growth through 2030 as cities expand programs and add more e-bikes.

Costs and affordability
Pricing varies widely by city and operator, but the table below summarizes commonly cited pay-as-you-go price points for station-based bike share and e-bikes.
Typical price point
What it usually represents
~$3.00
A common starting price for the first ~30 minutes on station-based bike share (pay-as-you-go).
~$3.85
Often-cited average cost for a typical ~30–35 minute station-based pedal-bike trip (pay-as-you-go).
$7.00+
A commonly cited cost for a typical ~30–35 minute station-based e-bike trip, reflecting per-minute surcharges.
~$6.00
A frequently cited average one-way price for dockless e-bikes (and often comparable micromobility devices) in recent U.S. reporting.
Global footprint
Bike sharing is now a mature global category. By the end of 2024, systems operated in 92 countries, with the largest fleet concentrations historically reported in Asia due to the scale of major city programs.
