Lyft is getting into two-wheeled vehicles. The ride-hailing company confirmed Monday that it's acquired the bikesharing startup Motivate, which will now go under the moniker "Lyft Bikes."

While Motivate isn't a household name, its docking bicycle networks are already in eight major cities across the US. It runs Ford GoBike in San Francisco and Citi Bike in New York City. Motivate also operates other bike brands like Capital BikeShare, CoGo, Divvy, Blue Bikes, Nice Ride and Biketown. As of March, Motivate told CNET it operated 31,841 bikes across the country.
