Launched in June 2014 with 1,560 pedal-assist bikes at 123 docking stations, BiciMAD was one of the first major cities' bike-share systems to run entirely on e-bikes from day one. Originally operated by contractor Bonopark, it was taken over by the municipal transit operator EMT Madrid in 2016 after the contractor ran into financial trouble. It has since expanded to more than 7,500 e-bikes across 600-plus stations, added the dockless BiciMAD Go service in 2020, and logged some 13.7 million trips in 2025.
