For anyone who has ridden electric Citi Bikes around NYC before, you know just how fast they can go. Well, now we can all enjoy an even faster and smoother ride with the brand new, white, electric Citi Bikes! On Thursday, May 5th, the bikes were launched throughout the city, and their daily usage is currently up by 90% compared to the older bikes. What is also so great about these new bikes is that they require less charging due to their longer lasting battery that has a range of 60 miles. For just $0.23 a minute, you can experience an incredible ride around Central Park, sightseeing, and enjoying the weather.

What’s fantastic about all three of these activities is that they take place outdoors. Summertime, especially in a large city like New York City, typically causes electricity usage in residential buildings to skyrocket. So, the summer is the perfect time to help conserve energy and live more energy efficiently by spending your time outside with friends and family. Before you leave for any of these activities, make sure to turn off your AC, unplug your extension cords, and switch off the lights! This will help you to lower your electricity bill. Not to mention these activities are cheap, and what’s even better is that Meltek can help you earn the money to put towards these summer experiences, which double as a fun time and a way to lower your electricity bill.
