Mobike joins ofo in Singapore with official launch

Months after dropping a hint for taking its services to overseas market, China’s top bike-rental startup Mobike announced today the launch of its hugely popular bike-sharing service in Singapore, the first stop of Mobike’s global expansion.

Mobike’s operation in Singapore features its typical scan-and-go service. Singapore residents can now ride a Mobike by downloading the Mobike app and unlocking any Mobike near them by scanning a QR code on the bike.

To soft landing the service in the island state, Mobikes will initially be deployed at selected high demand areas around the city such as MRT stations, industrial parks, and universities such as National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University, and Republic Polytechnic, according to the company.
