Selling out of the collection of Uber and jump bikes is this blue light blue electric city bike.
The bike has been fully restored to factory in you.
Short story is these bikes almost never made it into the public market they were basically discontinued as a project that became unprofitable due to COVID, And it could never get off the ground and the bikes were about to be destroyed or abandon.
Our company has been able to acquire most of the contract coming from Uber and jump and now we are officially selling these to the market and you are welcome to purchase one.
There are not that many available and so here is your chance to own one.
Likes have been fully restored to like new conditions and a 30 day guarantee on all its parts.

ADDITIONAL SPECS
A JUMP bike stands at 44 inches tall and 69.3 inches wide. The wide-set handlebars measure 24.6 inches from end to end. It has an integrated basket, large enough to hold a backpack or a big bag of groceries. It’s GPS equipped, with a 350w motor and Shimano braking system. On a single charge, the bike’s battery can run for about 30 miles,
The low frame was also built to hold a long adjustable seat post. It can extend almost 12 inches; by comparison, adjustable dropper posts built for consumer mountain bikes don’t generally extend past 8 inches. Jump bikes can accommodate riders from 4’11” to 6’6” in height.
Jump Designed Global Electric Bike
(The secret to building a bike that can serve all kinds of riders across the country—and soon, the world.)
Here is the story:
ON A BUSY street, a Jump bike looks like a light blue blur. It’s eye-catching, a blue that’s both a color and an announcement. But to Nick Foley, head of product at the electric bike-share company, the vibrant color is not only meant to turn heads. It’s a key part of shifting the way that commuters think about bikes as an urban transportation tool.
Bikes have been part of the urban transportation system for over a century. But as traffic congestion in cities worsens, and as concerns rise about about air pollution from gas-burning cars, cities have increasingly looked for solutions to decreasing reliance on automobile transportation. A few years ago, bike-share systems emerged as a possible solution to encourage alternative modes of transportation in cities.
“Ideally, we’re pulling people into the Jump system who are not professional cyclists or even regular bicycle commuters,” Foley says. “The appeal of what we’re trying to do is that we’re getting everybody on an electric bike as a commuting tool.”
The blue paint is part of Foley’s design ethos. To get “everybody” on a bike, you must first attract the attention of commuters who might not have considered a bike otherwise. But the paint’s appearance doesn’t tell the whole story. The breezy candy-apple color belies the fact that the paint has also undergone multiple chemical formulations to make it as corrosion resistant as possible. The paint performs the sleight of hand of effective design: purposeful, yet imperceptible to the user.
Jump’s most pressing challenge, though, starts when the rider gets on. Each Jump bike needs to accommodate a wide range of riders, wherever they choose to ride. So Foley faces a critical task: How do you build a single bike model that can serve the most people, in the most urban environments?
Jump operates 4,000 bikes across 13 cities, including San Francisco, New York City, and Chicago. They’re lock-to dockless, which means that Jump obtains permits from the city that allow for the bikes to be locked to any fixed post on the sidewalk, like a parking meter or a bench.
Cities aren’t the only stakeholders. Last April, Jump was bought by Uber. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has also announced that he aims to bring the JUMP system to Berlin, followed by other European cities, later this year. Now, not only must Jump bikes work well across American cities, but around the world.
Foley—who has been with Jump since it launched as bike-sharing startup Social Bicycles in 2010—knows that the bike needs to adapt not only to a range of riders and styles, but to ever-transforming cities.
“It’s obviously not the perfect ride for every rider of all types. But what we’ve been able to do is achieve something that is a really, really great ride experience for almost every rider that gets on board our bicycle.” Foley pauses, resting his gaze on the bike. “And that is hard. There are a lot of ways to get that wrong.”
A Bicycle Built for 40,000
A Jump bike stands at 44 inches tall and 69.3 inches wide. The wide-set handlebars measure 24.6 inches from end to end. It has an integrated basket, large enough to hold a backpack or a big bag of groceries. It’s GPS equipped, with a 350w motor and Shimano braking system. On a single charge, the bike’s battery can run for about 30 miles, which Foley says matches the distance most Jump bikes go each day. Its aluminum frame is painted in the signature Blue.
Foley’s team test rode major urban commuting bicycle types from around the world, from English roadsters to Dutch city bikes. They envisioned the bike as a combination of features from international cycling styles.
At first, Foley wanted to emulate the relaxed grip of Dutch bikes, whose handlebars curve in a sort of U-shape around the user. “That’s a very upright and stable position,” he says, which would encourage an alert posture that allows urban commuters to look out for traffic and safety signals. But Foley noticed that if a rider raises and lowers their torso, the U-shaped grip puts strain on the rider’s wrist.
It’s a small problem for an individual rider, who rides at roughly the same height for every ride. But the bike needed a handling geometry that could serve a taller rider, whose torso would sit higher on the bike, as well as a shorter rider. So Foley and his team landed on a compromise: a frame with higher handlebars that curve just slightly toward the user, lending a somewhat upright posture that feels comfortable enough for riders of most heights.
The low frame was also built to hold a long adjustable seat post. It can extend almost 12 inches; by comparison, adjustable dropper posts built for consumer mountain bikes don’t generally extend past 8 inches. Jump says that its bike can accommodate riders from 4’11” to 6’6” in height.
There are only slight modifications to the bike depending on a city’s needs. In most cities, Jump deploys its 3-speed model.
Reinventing the Wheel
Unlike an individual consumer bike, shared bikes are under the constant assault of the sun, rain, potholes, and perhaps the biggest danger of all, the humans who ride them. They're left outside day and night, and they get a lot more mileage than individual bikes. That means they need to be a lot more durable than other bikes.
Jump tests the structural integrity of its bike by putting prototypes under every possible duress that could befall an urban bike. Foley describes the testing process: the bike prototypes are run for about 1,500 miles on rollers that replicate riding over cobblestone, with weights that simulate “a heavy load in the basket and a really heavy rider who’s riding kind of violently. And then we run those tests until parts start to fail or parts start to fall off.”
The rubber that covers the saddle and handles also went through its own stress testing. Besides the threat of rips and sun damage, Foley also took into account the constant sweat and accumulated human skin on the handlebars. That's normally not a problem for a personal bike, but it's something that a shared bike has to withstand, too.
Kicking Into High Gear
“Bike-share is really important for us,” she says, noting that Providence started to consider implementing a bike-share program in 2009. The city saw bike-shares as a mobility solution for low-income residents (the level of income inequality in Providence is the third-highest in the country) as well as a way to meet sustainability goals.
The future of Jump's bike will require continual changes at every level. To keep the bikes adaptable to changing technology, Foley says that he’s made nearly all of the parts of the bike disparate and interchangeable. So while the bike operates like an integrated system, its parts can be easily swapped out in case an updated model comes along. Foley says his team is testing another iteration of the red paint, one that is hopefully even more UV-resistant.
He has at least decided on the paint color. When he was choosing the color of the bike, he says, he took into account the color that it might fade to in 10, 20 years. When the company landed on what would become Jump’s signature blue, it reminded him of another feat of design that has withstood the test of time and tech. He says, grinning, “If the bike fades to match the Golden Gate Bridge, I’m gonna be really happy.”
