Montrealers have more options than ever before for bicycle and scooter rentals.

With the public Bixi system adding back electric bikes on Monday after a pilot project last year, they join the private Uber Jump and Lime scooters. All three are available until Nov. 15 and are competing for your dollars. But which has the best bang for your buck? We compare the services here.

Cost

Bixi: $2.95 for a 30-minute trip, $5.25 a day for unlimited 30-minute trips, $15 for three days, $34 for 30 days, $94 for one year.

e-Bixi: $1 per ride on top of regular Bixi prices.

Jump: Free to unlock, 30 cents per minute of use.

Lime: $1 to unlock, plus 30 cents per minute of use.

For people who plan to use active transport regularly, Bixi still has the best offer. But for those just planning a single trip, it depends how long the trip is. Jump is cheaper than Bixi for a single trip under 10 minutes and cheaper than an electric Bixi for a trip of 13 minutes or less.
