oBike-Stationless Bike Sharing

There are many times I couldn't find the bikes which I found available in the map even I was physically at the correct location. I find it not so user friendly. I think It's easier for users to locate the bike park at the place, then unlock it on the spot.

BE CAREFUL. They ask for your mobile no. then start spamming you with SMS ... What is worse is they use a spoofed no. for the SMSes ... totally unethical ... DO NOT INSTALL or support them. There are other bike sharing options available. MoBike, Ofo ...

I loved the app, its cool. I have a question: Is it okay to park obike in the building parking basement of my university? Should that be considered as a public area since other students from my university can also use it, shouldn't it?

this app is really good but it will be better if i can rent multiple bikes at the same time as i don't want to deposit extra money (4 × $49)in my family phones' app. I do hope that you will upgrade the app in the futire for families to enjoy.

Cool idea.. but sometimes hard to locate bike. Tried looking for the bike on the map but bike not found.

Bike sharing at its best! Easy to use app, with bike locator and lock/unlock features. Good workout for users and pollution free for the environment :)

Hi I am new to the Obike apps . I Just Topup $5and I got $6 and I when to use the bike. And they side I need to pay $49 to use. Can anyone help me please...

This is a great idea.

I bought non-refundable credits only to find out that I have to pay a 50 dollar deposit before I can use the service. I have NOT been informed about this before buying the credits. I feel cheated

It a great initiative! I love it. Though there were some bikes where the lock kinda malfunctioned. If its fixed, i think i will ride every weekend!

Given that its only a monigear, it ie hard to paddle and the weight of the bike is too heavy for most of the cyclists.. Had a very unpleasant experience after trying it once

Great. More freebies pls :)

Love this concept and initiative. Have ride 4 times in 2 days! Will continue to ride oBike. GPS is not that accurate so better to look for bike racks and hope that there are oBikes there. Map also shows oBikes are present but not really since it is in the middle of the highway. Envious with the amount of oBikes in HDB areas. Maybe better if map also shows available parking areas. Let us be responsible oBikers for this to continue and improve.

Some people have started to park the bike everywhere as yesterday I was walking on a pathway and saw a obike in the middle of nowhere. .some times like you go to this station and hoping to see a o bike but there's none there. You started walking and u happen to bump into a obike in the middle of a pathway.

Are you able to explain why there are no oBikes in the CBD? I have reserved a few but upon walking to the location there are no bikes. A total waste of my time and money. Total crap! I swore i walked around the building and i even asked the concierge.

Initially just wanted to try our what is this app. Went to download it, quite fast download. Installation done in seconds. After which I proceed to register for an account which was pretty simple to do. Looked at how to use and quite fun and innovative. Since have been cycling since young, wanted to try out as there were some bikes around my HDB house at tampines. So top up deposit and wow I got a free ride immediately lol, haha it's free for me I guess for now. Proceeded to scan one of the QR code on the bike but e lock did not open.. hmmm ops I did not know my Bluetooth haha. Turned it on and scanned again and the lock opened. My first try of obike! Took it from tampines MRT to my HDB block 10mins away. Ride was pretty smooth though I need to cycle about harder cause it's a one gear bike. After I am done, went on to lock the bike under my HDB block bike rack. Overall experience was good. Save me time waiting for a bus, let me excercise and have some fun! Definitely will continue using. Nice work obike!

Able to find the bike where it was just next blk, would suggest that u put a example of how to stand the bike, struggle with it for a while. Price maybe u can include student price bah, use it as my sec school ezlink expire so waiting for ite card to come. Hope u will lower the price by then. I love ur service just that prices cheaper for students 好liao

Concept is good. BUT THE MAP. IS SUCKS. WOODLAND SHOW 5 OR 6 BICYCLE. WHEN I REACH THE AREA, WHERE IS THE BICYCLE. IS LIKE GIVING PEOPLE FALSE HOPE. Wasting time just to find a bicycle. Might as well I use the time to walk home rather than searching for the bicycle. At least if is taken, pls update the map and I won't go look for it in the first place.

Bikes are easy to find with the map feature. Easy to use both the app and the bike, with most in pretty good condition. The number of bikes available is great too, and the rates are reasonable. The process of locking and unlocking, borrowing and return is easy. The only thing is the deposit is quite high, especially if not a student.

Payed the deposit and booked three seperate bikes in my area. Each time I got to the location the bike was not there, which was very frustrating. Considering they are asking for money up front you expect a certain standard. Requested my deposit back as i dont want my money sitting in an app that I have no idea will take how long will take to fix it's bugs. However it states next time i withdrawl a deposit there will be a fee, which is kinda a cheap way to make you keep your initial deposit in the app. Waste of time. have deleted the app

Love the ideas that no specific parking areas. I've been to Taipei and London and never used their bikes because doesn't want the hassle to find one. However the location of the bikes are mostly inaccurate. I only managed to find 1 bike in 2days although it always shows bikes nearby. I believe it will be continuously improved and hoping there will be more bikes in the Jurong East area. It will be great if we can report "Bike Cannot be Found" once we click on the bike shown on the map, to help improving the system.

Bikes are always not at the spot as shown in the map. Been trying to find those bikes for two days but failed. Not too sure if this is the case for other area but at least for ang mo kio, it is.

Nice feature, am now able to ride to work faster then walking. Problem is missing bikes which show up on app but missing in the common area, likey because people are keeping them in their home

Love the concept! It's only been a few days but I am already so in love with bikes. It's so convenient! The bikes are understandably heavier than what I'd get myself and cycling even slight elevations can be quite a chore, but the convenience trumps all.

Update: The weekend free ride was wonderful. As the oBike was under my block, it was easy to just Unlock and Ride Away. But in time to come, more people will ride on this and booking will really be on a 1st to book, 1st to ride basis. Complaints are aplenty but the culture will reshape to that of Japan & Netherlands. In JW, they are quite a number of people utilising this. And the single gear will be a challenge for some as the bike is really heavy; i.e. close to 20kg? I had to stand-up paddle up slopes if my ride speed is slow. My qns is, if there are 5 bikes to start with and people ride off and does not return to the same place, will oBike replenish/reallocate bikes to that place? There used to be 5 oBikes available. I only see 1 now. Also, on Sun I tried to locate oBike at JE MRT but could find none despite the app showing 2 available bikes.

Good new concept.(But need improve GPS not accurate especially at Bedok mrt all the way, up to Bedok North St 3 police station. For Two days 24&25March I try, no bike at 5 location show there is bike? Choa Chu Kang Ave 1 up to Keat Hong Let gps very accurate. A lot of responsible obike rider here who park at designetad parking areas. To benefit all, Please help be a responsible good rider than a bad rider.

Nice idea but serious problem in the location system. Out of ten potential rides I found the bike only 3 times. Lots of inexistent bikes on the map (in my case 7 out of 10) meaning problem in the actual mapping system (bike showing on the map but not there in the reality). Outside boon lay MRT hundreds of GHOST bycicles. At this point app lost its only advantage on competitor service OFO that has no map at all. Hope problem will be sorted out

Haven't tried the cycle yet. But the app keeps checking the location even if it is minimized. Drains battery fast. Only when I force close the location icon on the notification bar disappears

Hi i have my own bike, i have no problem with your concept, obike, mobike, ibike, jbike whatever bike you guys company come out with, alot of your bike have been taking up lot of space on the bike parking which is meant for public parking. Now i have difficulty finding place to park my bike. Hope you guys can come up with your own parking lots. If this issue is solve, i will change to 4 or 5 stars.

Great initiative but saw 20-30 bikes in the hdb area but I don't see any on walking ard. Parked at higher floors or in the hdb houses itself possibly? Pls do advise as a pity to have a great idea only to be flawed by this. Looking forward to using the bikes. Hope to get a reply on this.

I would probably prefer a lower deposit. Though refundable, it kinda overwhelming to fork out $60 for the first top up. Definitely seen quite a number, islandwide. Great going.

It's easy to find the bicycles as indicated by the GPS, been using it frequently to go around places. It's good that i can just park it at the parking area in my flat.

Good initiative but bike isnt good, a bit hard to cycle with the stiff gear. Deposit is too expensive.

I mean it's a good initiative but what's the point when you have to first pay a deposit of $49 when you want to ride a bicycle that's $1/30 minute? It doesn't sound worth it at all to me.

App seems clean and nice - still waiting for student deposit rate approval before putting deposit. There is an issue where the GPS doesn't turn off when your switch away from the app - you need to force kill the app to stop it, otherwise it sucks battery.

Tried riding today.. Almost died halfway cos of the hills. But the app services are good, just that riding exp could be improved.

$50 is still a little too much. I'm a student and i do not have that much money available. It is a good idea though

Pls introduce the feature to be able to see other surrounding bikes in the area when I alrdy rent a bike alrdy in the map screen.Manytimes,I want to change the bike(when the bike becomes faulty),but the app does not allow me to see and find a new bike,only after I lock the bike

The bikes in central area (city hall, raffles place) are all ghost bikes. Obike needs to remove those ghost bikes if they are not there! Also, a picture from the bike would be helpful in locating it instead of just the GPS, which can be quite inaccurate

I encountered two consecutive bikes which had faults in them when i wanted to ride it home from mrt, i did reported both but didnt get any confirmations upon the report and it also said there are credits awarded for reports made regarding faulty ones but i dont seem to see any in my app when i look at my total credits. Please do keep us updated on the conditions of the bikes so we users are assured that efforts are being put in to repair the bikes and also ensure convenience when finding the obike. This incident resulted in me walking home instead as both the bikes were faulty. Thank you and overall it is an applaudable initiative to promote healthy lifestyle and cost efficient way to commute.
