Barcelona's council-run bike-share launched in March 2007 (operated by Clear Channel until 2018, then Pedalem Barcelona/PBSC under municipal firm BSM). A 2019 relaunch added pedal-assist e-bikes: the fleet now runs about 8,000 bikes (5,000 electric) across roughly 557 app- and GPS-enabled docking stations, with around 170,000 subscribers. E-bikes carry about eight of every ten trips, and the city logged over 100 million trips since the 2019 relaunch.
