Mobike created by Beijing Mobike Technology Co., Ltd is a fully station-less bicycle-sharing system currently deployed in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Ningbo, Xiamen, Foshan, Zhuhai and Wuhan. It is the world's largest bicycle operator, and recently made Shanghai the world's largest bike-share city.
In January 2017, Mobike raised $215 million in Series D funding led by Tencent and Warburg Pincus.
As described by the company, Mobike is intended to solve "the last kilometre" issue in which commuters face the problem of being stuck a bit too far from their destination to walk, but too close to justify the cost or delay of finding a taxi. Similar to Call a Bike in Germany, every Mobike bicycle comes with an internet-controlled electronic wheel lock that automatically unlocks but requires manual locking after use.
Mobike bicycles are powered by a small generator installed on the rear wheel hub to power the lock. The patented disc brake is said to withstand over 10,000 kilometres of riding without failure.
Mobike bicycles come in two versions, both of which requires a scan of a unique QR-code to unlock.

I'd like to briefly introduce the Public Bicycle Service to you. Our city insists to protect the environment, so we began to use the Public Bicycle Service to reduce the traffic stress in 2008. There were 65 thousand bicycles for people to use in daily life. In general, more than 8 million people have to use them every year.

The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofobring great convenience to people. You needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next user.However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or use their own lock, which causes trouble toother users.In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time. Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because people use their real name to registeras a user, it’s a good way to connect to one’spersonal credit.In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.
