Lyft's e-bikes are back after a fiery hiatus

That was a long break. After five months, Lyft's e-bikes are back and, hopefully, not on fire.

In July, ride-sharing company Lyft pulled all of its battery-assisted bicycles from Bay Area streets. The 1,000 electric bikes, part of its Bay Wheels bike-share program, were removed after reports of the devices catching on fire. Only classic pedal-powered bikes without flammable batteries remained in San Francisco, San Jose, and the East Bay.
