Who invented the concept of shared bicycle? Who put forward it first

4hw.org: from last year to this year, less than a year later, sharing bicycles has spread all over the corners of major cities in China. Who invented sharing bicycles? Who put forward the concept of shared bicycle? In fact, the concept of shared bicycles was put into effect as early as 15 years ago.

Who invented ofo bike sharing? It is the world's first non stake bike sharing solution, the first "bike sharing" mode. Users can also share their bikes to ofo for operation, so as to obtain the free use right of all ofo shared bikes, and exchange 1 for n.

In 2014, Dai Wei, a graduate of Peking University, co founded ofo with four partners to solve the travel problem on campus. In May 2015, more than 2000 shared bicycles appeared on the campus of Peking University.

As of November 2016, a number of shared bikes have been born and obtained a lot of venture capital.

On December 8, 2016, ofo held a city strategy conference in Guangzhou and announced that it would officially land in Guangzhou, establish strategic cooperation with Haizhu District government, and connect 60000 bicycles in 2016.

On January 16, 2017, in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, at the entrance and exit of Xiashan Park, Shekou Bay, Shenzhen, there was a large area of artificially damaged shared bicycles. Hundreds of shared bikes of several brands are piled up into two 'Hills', or due to external force damage, many bicycle handlebars, baskets and other parts are scattered on the surrounding ground, in a mess.

development history

According to the 2016 Research Report on China's shared bicycle market issued by the third-party data research institute Bida consulting, by the end of 2016, the total number of users in China's shared bicycle market has reached 18.86 million. It is expected that in 2017, the number of users in the shared bicycle market will continue to grow by a large margin, reaching 50 million by the end of the year.

The report points out that China's shared bicycle market has gone through three stages of development. 2007-2010 is the first stage. The public bicycle mode, which is rising from abroad, has been introduced into China. It is managed by cities under the leadership of the government, and most of them are piled bicycles. 2010-2014 is the second stage. Enterprises specializing in bicycle market began to appear, but public bicycles are still dominated by piled bicycles. 2014 to now is the third stage. With the rapid development of mobile Internet, the Internet bike sharing led by ofo came into being, and the more convenient bicycle without pile began to replace the bicycle with pile.

According to the report, at present, the advantages of ofo and Mobai in China's shared bicycle market are obvious. Among them, the number of ofo bicycles is the largest, reaching 800000, with a market share of 51.2%; the number of Mobai bicycles is 600000, with a market share of 40.1%.

The report also shows that bike sharing is more popular with young men. In China, 54.2% of bicycle users are men and 45.8% are women. In the age distribution of users, people aged 25-35 are the most frequently used, followed by people under 25. In the frequency of use, users who use 3-4 times a week are the most.

Since the end of 2016, domestic bike sharing has suddenly become popular, and a recent screenshot of mobile phone has become popular on the Internet.

Recently, the icons of 24 bike sharing apps have dominated the whole mobile screen. It's really 'one picture shows the fierce competition of bike sharing'. In the streets, it seems that overnight, bike sharing has reached the point of "flooding", and the roadsides of major cities are lined with bike sharing of various colors.

Through a review, it is found that in addition to the early entry of Mobai bike and ofo, at least 25 new bike sharing brands have entered the board in 2016, including even the E-bike sharing brands.

These 25 brands include Xiaoming bicycle, Xiaolan bicycle, Zhixiang bicycle, Beijing public bicycle, Qiqi trip, ccbike, No.7 electric bicycle, blackbird bike, hellobike, Kuqi trip, 1-step bike, you bike, Treader, funbike, youyou bike, youyou bike, panda bike, yunbike, Uber bike, electric go bike, Yongan trip, Xiaolu bike, Xiaolu bike White bike, fast rabbit travel Characteristics and disadvantages

Different from online car hailing, the operation of bicycles is greatly affected by seasonal changes and weather conditions. In case of typhoon and rainstorm, no matter where it is, the order volume of sharing single vehicle travel will plummet or even return to zero, and the platform will have to face higher depreciation cost of vehicle damage.

Compared with the public bicycles with piles, the concept of "no piles" which can be used and parked at any time brings great convenience to the citizens, and at the same time, it also leads to the phenomenon of "disorderly occupation of roads" of "small red cars" and "small yellow cars", which makes the management of urban space more difficult, which requires the introduction of corresponding management regulations.

Why is the balance of shared bikes hard to return? "Kuqi bikes" said that if the user wants to return the balance, the customer service of the brand will refund the fee in the form of "wechat red packet". The refund time is within 3 working days after the customer service receives the refund request, but it can be refunded on the day of special circumstances. As for whether the balance return path can be specified in the app, he believes that it needs to be handled in a comprehensive way according to industry and national requirements. They are in active contact with the municipal traffic management department and will implement the policy according to the standard once it is issued.
