About the Bikes

Every Cardinal Bikeshare bike comes with:

a bell;
a basket;
an adjustable seat;
front and rear lights which automatically light up when you begin to pedal; and,
a dashboard that allows you to track distance, speed and riding time.

Two-thirds of the fleet is electric-assist bikes, which will help to make Raleigh’s hilly terrain easier to navigate.
