Mobike & WeChat
an important combination
The key
Bike-sharing plan made easy
Pay directly with WeChat pay. Based on solid bikes + smart lock
Why is it different?
The current systems create a kind of mess.
People made their own bikes by sabotaging the system (Ofo bike)
Making the bikes connected solves this.
And what is more to say?
It is a huge success and growing.
The perfect fit on the WeChat payment culture
But bikes are now ‘polluting’ the city
