香港首家共享單車公司GoBee.Bike黯然離場 宣佈關閉：沒錢燒了

閱讀全文

香港首家共享單車公司Gobee.bike週二宣佈將結束在香港的業務。從業務投放至結束運營只有短短的15個月時間。Gobee.bike指出，由於經營一年多來仍未能實現盈利，龐大的單車維修開支難以為繼，無法繼續為市民提供服務。去年年底 Gobee.Bike曾進入法國市場，但由於盜竊跟破壞單車行為，今年3月25日也宣佈停止在法國巴黎和里昂地區的共享單車運營服務。

GoBee Bike throws in the towel in France

GoBee Bike throws in the towel in France

bike sharing, France Newsletter, gobee.bike, mobike, obike, ofo

Bike-sharing startup GoBee Bike is giving up and shutting down in all French cities where it operates. GoBee Bike operates just like Chinese giants Ofo and Mobike. You open the app, you find a bike on the map and you unlock it by scanning a QR code. Once you’re done, you lock it again and leave it there — there’s no dock.

And yet, the startup is blaming vandalism and says that the service would stop immediately. It’s worth noting that users will get a refund on their remaining balances and €15 deposit. This is a nice gesture.

According to the announcement, GoBee Bike managed to attract 150,000 users in Europe who used the service hundreds of thousands of times. But the company’s bikes slowly became unusable. 3,200 bikes became dysfunctional, 1,000 bikes were illegally parked in someone’s home. Overall, GoBee Bike had to send someone in 6,500 cases.

The startup couldn’t keep up and it became clear that the business model wasn’t scalable if you needed to fix the bikes all the time. As a user, it also felt like you couldn’t unlock most of the bikes because the lock battery was dead most of the time.

GoBee Bike first announced that it would stop operating in Brussels, Lille and Reims. The startup also exited the Italian market. And now, users in Paris and Lyon can’t access the service either. The company is still operating in its home city Hong Kong.

In Paris in particular, there were four different free-floating bike companies — Ofo, Mobike, Obike and GoBee Bike. GoBee Bike is clearly underfunded compared to those giants. According to CrunchBase, GoBee Bike has raised $9 million. Ofo and Mobike have raised over $2 billion combined.

And you can feel it as a user. While Ofo has been operating in Paris since mid-December, all rides have been free for the past two and half months. Mobike has been around for a month and rides are free as well. Even Obike gave you 50 free rides when you signed up.

It’s hard to compete with free.

大家也許有聽過台灣的 YouBike 或者內地 OFO 小黃車的共享單車平台，有人會疑問香港為甚麼就沒有共享單車呢？其中一個原因除了因為香港交通太方便之外，難以找到地方停泊單車也是一個難題。最近，有一個名為 Gobee.bike 的網站，當中顯示本港首個共享單車平台或將正式推出。
