Dear forum,

Has anyone here used the oBike bicycle rental service? What was your customer experience like? Is the system sound? What about the bicycles?

Cheers?

oBike is a bicycle rental startup from Singapore which also operates in Zurich (even before Publibike).

oBike requires a deposit (150 francs) which you get back after returning the bicycle. The rental fees are 1.50 francs per 30 minutes, 3 francs per hour. You collect loyalty points which influence the price.

A possible advantage is that you can leave the bicycles at any public place where parking bicycles is allowed, and likewise collect bicycles all over the place. There are no rental stations.

Kind regards

Chinese company.

Budget bicycles from China. Brakes don't work well.

Aggressive Chinese company looking for quick profits. Will that work in Switzerland? I hope not.
