Washington, DC (CNN Business) Lyft is returning e-bikes to its San Francisco Bay Area fleet just days after it filed a lawsuit to block competitors from launching their own e-bikes in the city. Following the crashes , Shimano, the manufacturer of the roller brake, said Lyft hadn't included a component to prevent excessive braking. Lyft's new e-bikes will first appear in San Jose on Tuesday, and then San Francisco and East Bay later this month, according to Lyft. On Friday, Lyft sued San Francisco, arguing its new stationless bikeshare program violates the city's contract with Lyft. "[The agreement] does not give Lyft the right to a monopoly on bike sharing in San Francisco."
