    That might be tough, since the cardholder is on the hook for the bike. I know I wouldn’t do that for a stranger in NYC.

      Some reports are saying it wasn’t a rental bike, but it was the same e-bike model that the city’s rental service uses, likely paid for with cash.

        That would be something - buying a whole-ass e-bike to escape from your murder scene with. Interesting, too, that that bike hasn’t been found yet, which means he didn’t ditch it anywhere nearby, if at all.

          Probably why he had an e-bike. Fast, silent, small, and easy to ride long distances compared to a normal bike, or a car in New York. Definitely helps that you can buy them for cash, without a license, and often person-to-person second hand
