What type of bikes are the NYC Citi Bikes? ?

I'm wondering because I will like to buy a private bike that is that type. Non-electric.

    They're just cheap & HEAVY e-bike versions of a beach cruiser.  Trust me...if you wanna get anywhere fast or far you do NOT want a beach cruiser.  St. Louis had Lime Bikes & Ofo bikes at one time - non motorized.  Most of the Lime bikes ended up in scrap metal piles being hauled away.  Over 250 of the Ofo bikes were saved & donated to St. Louis Bike Works - a non-profit, charitable organization.  Read this... https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2019/02/1...

    Wanna ride anything over 2 to 3 miles on a lightweight & FUN bike?  You don't want a beach cruiser.  Go find a bike shop (or shops) and TEST RIDE something like this hybrid from Fuji.  https://www.fujibikes.com/usa/bikes/pavement/women... 

    Pictured below is how one Lime Bike was found.  At least they put it up on blocks. 🤣
