Uber will give its rentable bikes and scooters more prominence in its app next month in an attempt to increase ridership.

Washington, DC Uber announced a number of changes to its bike and scooter business Thursday as the company faces pressure to become profitable.

In 2020, it will introduce swappable battery kiosks in cities, which will allow Uber riders, drivers and couriers to exchange batteries on Jump-branded vehicles. Like all bike and scooter companies, Uber faces significant costs to charge and maintain its fleet. The company has increased rental prices this year. It's expensive to hire workers to travel around cities replacing dead batteries, so having riders swap batteries could reduce how many people Uber needs to pay.
