Freebike, a Prague-based developer and manufacturer of bike sharing systems, is rolling out an electric bike that can be rented by tapping a card or digital wallet without the need to download a new app or to register, a development that is expected to accelerate the role of bikes as a form of micro mobility.
This week, Freebike will be showcasing the bike at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, supported by Mastercard. The bikes have been piloted in Prague and will be coming to the streets of Dublin, Ireland in April 2022 in partnership with local operator Moby.
