Mobike to Become Moving IoT: Q&A with Joe Xia, founder and CTO of Mobike

Bike-sharing has been spreading like wildfire as different companies and backers enter the field. TechNode has already taken a look at the bikes from the users’ perspective. However, this is only one side of the story: these companies differentiate themselves not just by user expereince, but also in business model.

Technode interviewed Joe Xia, founder and CTO of Mobike, to gain insight into the theory behind the bikes.
