People wanting to get on their bikes in France have one fewer option for doing so after the Gobee.bike hire service said Saturday Feb 24,2018 it was closing following a welter of thefts and vandalism.
“It is with great sadness that we are officially announcing to our community the termination of Gobee.bike service in France on Saturday Feb 24,2018,” the Hong Kong headquartered service said.“Over the months of December and January, the mass destruction of our fleet has become the new entertainment of underaged individuals,” said Gobee.bike, which had rolled out 2,000 two-wheelers in Paris alone and had some 150,000 users across France.
The company said that “more than a thousand bikes” had been stolen and almost 3,400 damaged nationwide, with almost 300 complaints filed to police and 6,500 repairs needed.
