Divvy Debuting E-Bikes Wednesday

CHICAGO (CBS)-- DIvvy is debuting new e-bikes on Wednesday.

Pedal-assist e-bikes will be coming to the Divvy bike fleet, the Chicago Department of Transportation and Lyft announced Monday.

The e-bikes will be available for sharing beginning on Wednesday.

CDOT and Lyft said the e-bikes will make it easier for people of all riding abilities to ride and make longer trips.

The bikes will be unlocked with a scannable QR code that works through both the Divvy and Lyft apps, or a member key.
