Mobike rides have the first 2 hours of each trip free. If you stay on longer you need to pay. However, you can just switch bikes after 2 hours to avoid the fee.

That hasn't been my experience with Mobike. When I had a paid membership, I got 2 hours cumulative for free over a month. Didn't matter how many different bikes I used, it was cumulative. Once that was up, then I'd be charged additional fees.
I wonder how much money Mobike makes from people who forget to lock their bikes. I've given them something like ~$50 so far because I keep forgetting to lock my bike and then don't notice until later after someone has been riding my rented bike for free for a number of hours. Once I realize what happened, I notify them, and then they lock down my account and won't unlock it until I pay up the racked up fees.

Here’s the one I’m thinking of https://mobike.com/sg/blog/post/mobike-pass https://mobike.com/sg/blog/post/mobike-pass This promo is for Singapore, it’s the same promo as China just in English. In this promo Mobike is offering unlimited free rides (<2hrs) with no deposit for $0.63/month. It says you can switch bikes to reset the time. They are running this far below cost. I can’t see how Mobike makes any profit off this.

- fjsolwmv 9y agoWhy do you stay subscribed to a service that actively rips you off like that
- PakG1 9y agoIt's either that or lose the deposit I paid for the bike. This is cheaper. And if I'm at fault, what's the big deal? I agree I'm the one at fault for not locking the bike.
