Mobike losing its bikes to Mexico’s drug dealers
    2018-06-05  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

IT looks like some of those in Mexico really want Mobike’s orange two-wheelers to themselves.

It’s only been about three months, but bike thieves in Mexico are already threatening to bring Mobike’s business to a screeching halt, Reuters reported Thursday.

Thieves are apparently using the Chinese bike-sharing service’s bikes to “move drugs,” residents in Tepito, Mexico, told the publication, which said it found nearly 60 bikes in the neighborhood notorious for black markets peddling “clothing, pirated films and illegal drugs.”

Mobike isn’t alone in fighting bike theft. Google, which provides its staff an internal dockless bike-sharing scheme within its Californian compound, also saw hundreds of its Gbikes disappear every week.

In addition to theft, cases of bike abuse including vandalism and errant parking have plagued several countries. In Europe, bike-sharing operator GoBee left Brussels in Belgium and Lille, Paris and Reims in France after it found over half of its bikes subjected to theft or abuse.

Bike-sharing providers are not alone in facing these issues, though, with e-scooters in San Francisco also facing mistreatment.(SD-Agencies)
