I used to be a fan of this service in Germany for a while. Features are the same (Track it online or grab one from the street, unlock it with your phone, leave it everywhere you want), it's operated by the 'Deutsche Bahn' railway comp.
It was cheap, easy and the bikes were of good quality, plus you can't beat the flexibility of grabbing one of those to meet a friend on the other side of the city.
Great to see that the concept spreads further and further.
) They define a general area in their TOS/contract. You're not supposed to leave it outside of the city limits, for example. You can leave, of course, but need to drive back into the city limits to drop it off.

- Loic 14y agoHere are some details, basically you lock/unlock with your phone by calling a given phone number: http://www.callabike-interaktiv.de/index.php?id=401&&f=500 http://www.callabike-interaktiv.de/index.php?id=401&&... The bike lock is controlled from a central point. Also, as they have a GPS, they also propose an iPhone/Android application which can give you the nearest free bikes around you. This system is running in several cities in Germany.
