    I tried out the low-assist mode feature on Divvy today. Toggled on the setting in the app, and then when a station only had e-bikes available the low-assist mode was indeed selected by default, and the ride was free. The bike indicates it is in low-assist mode with a little message on the screen:

    I've also verified that a station with some classic bikes docked but with the dreaded red dot (i.e. unavailable) still has low-assist mode enabled when taking an e-bike.

    The bikes feel noticeably slower and heavier in low-assist mode, but there is still enough assist to get you going comfortably from a stand-still at a red light.

    This feature works as expected, no complaints - thanks!
