this is 100.0% a 3rd party accessory...The fact that they legally shied away from using "citi" branding instead of "city" tells me so.
Edit: Amazon agrees with me.

Citymapper is an awesome navigation/routing app in general, but I've gotten my best experiences with Citibike from using it.
After choosing Point A and Point B, you can select the "Bike" directions. It tells you walking directions to the nearest 4-5 stations and shows bike availability. Draws bike-safe route (you can even choose between "Fast" vs "Quiet" streets) then it shows space availability near your destination.
I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HMP7MMG
an arm holder thing. I wear it upside down and looped around my pinky so I can still access my smart watch. I will also admit that I sometimes pretend it's a webshooter.
Also, hello!
You gotta wear layers and take off some layers when you get too hot. Also I have a pair of gloves that work too good that my hands get sweaty. Mind you, my hands also get cold way too quickly.
I was hoping someone would respond to this question but no one did so far so here's the one I purchased - there are dozens of similar ones on Amazon and you could choose one that's least expensive.
I don't find it to be as comfortable as the Citibike seat but do find it much better than the narrow Royal Gel saddle my bike came with; but then, my experience is also affected by the ride position - more upright on a Citibike, more "sporty" on my personal bike.
Here is the jacket I was talking about, the pictures don't do a justice. It's really trippy seeing someone wearing it at night.

I have this helmet and I keep it in my small work bag. I highly recommend. 174Hudson collapsible helmet
Here is a good link to research collapsible helmets: helmets.org’s research on folding helmets
I think you're right; it says "polaroid" on the side & the cover looks like it's this: https://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-Action-Protective-Silicone-Cameras/dp/B00K1LSKN2
I wonder if somebody (i.e. not citibike/motivate) added it as an experiment. It doesn't look vandal- or theft-proofed in the least.
