  • So is this the free obike for today?
    You're post doesn't make much sense to me I'm afraid.

    • your not making sense

      • So can you explain the post?

  • Any codes for obike atm for new or exsisting users ?

      See here — 30x $2 vouchers.

      • You can actually use SYDSC & MELBSC to get $120 of vouchers, they work Australia-wide.

    Why pay when you can just grab one from the yarra river?

      It's a locked bike regardless

        • Only if its IP67 and IP69 certified

    Just a note about oBike:

    “if you look at the detailed terms of use that are sometimes included on their websites, they won’t rule out the possibly of tracking people even when they are not using the bike.

    “They sometimes say they explicitly reseve the right to sell the data to third parties,”

      That article seems to just have Elliot Fishman saying blanket statements that are probably not true.
      Maybe pointing to the actual terms of use for obike would be more useful.

        It actually was true two months ago. The T+Cs had lines in there about "you agree that your data will be sent to third parties…"

        However, I have just gone back over the T+Cs and they don't seem to have this in there any more: https://h5.o.bike/mobile/en-au/setting/agreement.html

        That being said, $1.99/30 Minutes is still too expensive for me when I always have a valid myki or enjoy a walk.

        • It would be fantastic if the public transport ticketing got on-board with a bike share scheme.

        • @damion: That would be excellent. Let's make it happen.

    Awesome, just took a oBike from the main office to our temp office. Saved me a breezy 5mins of walking downhill

  • I’m really keen on riding more places, rather than driving, but frankly I’m unfit and live in a hilly area so I’d need something to help me uphills. I’m not a lazy person, I work like a dog in the yard when I have an energy spurt but riding just becomes unpleasant when I’m sweating and drenched when I get home or to my destination, but bugger me if electric bikes are so damn expensive. Is it just me, or do other people feel the same way? I’m guessing that eventually they’ll come down in price? I had a look at 99 Bikes and they reckon around $2400 for something half decent?

    This is such a great idea, and I think more people should ride to work but does anybody else find riding their bike up even a slight hill a real challenge? Maybe it’s my bike, IDK.

      1 + 2 != 3

      get a cheap mountain/hybrid bike with 10+ gears, use the gears & after a week of riding you'll get fit.

  • Shows me $69 for deposit. I'm using the app, signed up but need to pay deposit to use. $69 is too much. Brisbane CityCycle is better

    Love the fidget spinner logo

    Glad for the reduced deposit - I'd resisted signing up in case they went under and I never got my $69 back. But for $10 it's very little risk, so finally signed up.
