Bike Share Everywhere

Social Bicycles can be found in cities and at universities, corporate campuses and residential properties.

Easy to Find and Reserve

Find and reserve a bicycle from a web browser or mobile device. Don’t have internet access? You can also make a reservation directly from the keypad interface on the bike.

Fast Access

Once you make a reservation, just enter your 4-digit personal PIN-code to unlock the bicycle.

Park Anywhere

Park the bicycle at a hub location or any bicycle rack in the system area.

Socialize Your Ride

Share your mapped rides and statistics, including miles traveled, CO2 reduced, calories burned, and money saved versus driving.

Are you an Operator?

Smart Bikes vs. Smart Racks

We took all the technology out of the docking stations and kiosks and integrated them onto the bike.

Affordable

Our systems cost a fraction of existing station-based bike share systems. Keeping capital costs low allows you to focus on building a sustainable operation.

Scalable

Social Bicycles require much less infrastructure and work with existing bicycle parking. This means fewer hurdles to implementing and growing your program.

Real-time Management

Our software allows you to easily manage your system area, hub locations, user accounts, bike usage and maintenance information.

Statistics

View system data on miles traveled, calories burned, CO² reduced, and money saved versus driving. Create reports and track how bike sharing impacts your community.
