Mobike is a lot more user-friendly because the bike unlocks itself when you scan the code or trigger the bluetooth signal, whereas the Ofo app sends you a numeric code which you must punch yourself to unlock the bike. Ofo is like the half-generation of bikeshare between 1st-gen docked bikes and 2nd-gen dockless auto-unlocking ones.
- sewer_bird 8y agoTo be fair, most Ofo bikes in Shanghai have the same auto-unlock feature in later Marks... maybe about 75% of the ones I've tried.
- vorg 8y agoI'm in Wuhan. I don't use Ofo but I keep an eye out and have only noticed a single Ofo bike in a hundred over the last few months with an auto-unlock. Obviously, the bikeshare companies roll out their newest stock in Beijing and Shanghai. I'd guess most Ofo bikes in all of China still use the manual unlock, and will do so for a while yet.
