Ecobici: e-bikes for Mexico City's bike-share system
Ecobici is Mexico City's shared bicycle system and one of the largest micro-mobility networks in Latin America. RÁFAGA Mobility participated by deploying over 300 electric bicycles within a system that manages more than 700,000 trips a month.

The challenge
Operating within an established public system imposes a different demand than a new deployment: the network already has users, schedules and committed service levels.
Adding electric bicycles brings in the energy variable: charging, range and battery rotation within the same daily operation.
The solution
- Deployment of over 300 electric bicycles integrated into the existing operation.
- Coordination with the system's rebalancing and maintenance logistics.
- Quality-control standards applied to every unit before entering service.
The result
- Over 700,000 monthly trips managed by the network.
- 40% reduction in commute time for users.
- Direct experience operating micro-mobility at the largest scale in Mexico.
