Special Bd. of Aldermen — 02/27/2017 Page 6
Alderman O’Brien
Downtown we have some very popular spots and | can see a whole bunch of bikes at that particular area. Will
your company be providing bike racks or anything to the most popular destinations that we have.
Ms. Xie
That is a topic we can discuss in the future. The first step is to identify where those locations are.
Alderman O’Brien
Your preference is that they get left on the sidewalks is that correct and not into a designated parking space?
Ms. Xie
Because right now the model works, we encourage people to use it and give them more flexibility and freedom
not to constrain them to only pick up and drop off at certain locations because we don’t know if that is the true
demands. If that answers your question?
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
You mentioned you had fat tires, do you have any other types of bikes in the fleet?
Ms. Xie
Yes we will have e-bicycle and then we have trike and the fat tire bike and side by side bike.
Alderwoman Kelly
If | could follow up. Are they all well-versed for any type of terrain because we have lots of different types of
trails here in Nashua.
Ms. Xie
It needs to be tested first. Because those special ADA bikes need to be rented out with certain number and
departments if that makes sense.
Chairman Dowd
How do the batteries stay charged on the bikes?
Ms. Xie
Yes we have a solar panel here to charge the bike. Without the charge, the battery can last for two months.
Chairman Dowd
Any other questions?
