China's Bicycle sharing WENT INSANE!

Everyone loves China's innovative bike sharing schemes... Well they used to! People still love to ride them, but new companies are flooding the market and the amount of these bikes around the city are insane! They're becoming a problem and are being neglected, left in strange places, vandalised and you won't believe the footage I have of them in this video! Come and see how bike sharing has gone overboard in China!
Mobike (Chinese Simplified: 摩拜单车, Mo-bai bicycle), founded and owned by Beijing Mobike Technology Co., Ltd. (Chinese Simplified: 北京摩拜科技有限公司), is a fully station-less bicycle-sharing system headquartered in Beijing, China. It is the world's largest bicycle operator, and in December 2016, made Shanghai the world's largest bike-share city.
In January 2017, Mobike raised $215 million in Series D funding led by Tencent and Warburg Pincus.
Access to Mobike bicycles is achieved using the purpose-built Mobike application, which requires a pre-paid 299 yuan fee to prevent deliberate damage of Mobike property. Each user is required to register using their mobile number alongside his/her national identification number (Passport identification and verification is also available for non-Chinese citizens). The software automatically disallows users under the age of 14 to use the app, through the identification number.
To use a bicycle, a user presses the black button near the bottom labeled "扫码开锁" (Scan code to unlock), which brings up a QR-code scanning interface, which requires the user to place the QR-code of a bicycle into the scanning area, after which the software will produce a low-toned beep to indicate a success in scanning the code. After a successful scan a progress bar will appear on the screen, indicating the "Progression of unlocking". With a successful unlock, the electronic lock on the bike will produce three short beeps followed by the characteristic "Tuck" sound generated by the lock opening. In the app, the progress bar fills to 100%, and the notice "开锁成功" (Unlock successful) appears for a short period before getting replaced by the rental timing interface. This interface also records the distance traveled, time spent, energy the user spent using the vehicles (in kCals), and an orange banner indicating the number of the bike and the estimated cost of using the bike. The first three stats shown on the interface will be added to the total value on the user page, while the cost will be deducted from the user's account. If several seconds elapse after the bar fills to 98% without starting the trip in the APP, an error will be reported to the user asking them to try again or change to another bicycle.
Availability in deployed cities is high, but reduces as the distance from the city center increases. Many Mobike bicycles can be found at entrances to metro stations. It is currently deployed in dozens of Chinese cities, which includes but are not limited to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Ningbo, Xiamen, Foshan, Zhuhai, Changsha, Hefei, Shantou, Haikou, Deyang, Nanning, Xi'an and Wuhan.

You know Winston (and cmilk) are good human beings when they give protips about helping the less fortunate, no matter where you might be. Kudos man, can't wait for your northern trip.

[@AJ-kj1go]

you'd have to be be an evil uncle or auntie to think they aren't great dudes.

[@NPJGlobal]

That's true of cmilk, but in the the case of Winston I think it might just be because it makes his narcisstic side feel good to give to a random hobo, be it on or off camera. He overtly admitted to being narcisstic, and so am I. Just my opinion, don't get the pitchforks out.

[@emmanuela.2932]

It's not admirable, it's what every decent person should do.

[@mart242]

Still seems like a good guy though. He can still be narcisstic but care about care about others. (was replying to NPJ Global). I sure wouldn't mind having a few beers with either of these guys.

[@TUBESPECIFIC1]

He's a healthy narcissist; not a bipolar type with an ego fed by the misfortune of others in a zero sum game. He's a healthy executive type, but not a banker finance type only focused on money who usually are sociopath bipolars to be avoided which is often what breaks a fit for a job or such a company culture all too common in America.

[@richardmorris5740]

I done this so many times.. left homeless sleeping people drinks and food next to them, totally relate to you. Good man.

[@georgemcnally4473]

Hi Winston. My Chinese wife, currently living with me in the UK, very much enjoyed the tai chi sequences in this vid. As ever, excellent work on the main subject too. We were discussing the notion that if anyone wanted an accurate idea of what life in a Chinese city is actually like before they went to China they would be hard pressed to find a more accurate, or more interesting portrayal, than yours. Keep up the excellent work!

[@beth263]

I loved the bonus footage, it was so interesting!! Thanks for another wonderful video!

[@buffalomind6838]

I agree. Footage after the schooling is a plus. I do not care if it is Winston watching television while in the house as seeing what is on television in China is interesting in itself.

[@milkybar06]

we got the same problem in sydney with share bikes being dumped anywhere.

[@charlesxiao1693]

Poor man on the subway! Most Chinese wouldn’t even give them 一毛, (ten Chinese cents) which is approx 1.4 cents! Good job giving him a drink，干得好！

[@TampaTec]

more bikes less car traffic and less pollution but the bike chip needs to be paired with the bike zones or else they get overcharged on the app.

[@eirin099]

isnt it just to grab any bike go to your destination and leave it there, since there is so many fucking bikes and people everywhere

[@liznguyen873]

Saw this comment half way through the video, and figured he must have stretched out the video by a few seconds to ensure it was over 10 minutes. Then I got to 6.5 mins and realised it was over already! 😂😂

[@Berelore]

It's called the tragedy of the commons people don't take care of public anything anywhere.

[@Dowlphin]

All a matter of education/training and creating the basic conditions for it to fall on fertile soil. E.g. the more scams are considered a common thing in society, the less you can expect people to not be selfish. In case of those share bikes, if people are under the impression that the company providing them is just trying to rip someone off, they would naturally not treat those products with respect.

This is one of my favorite channels. I don't watch much, but can't keep myself away from these videos. Good production too.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

They have started using these now in London in the past 3-6mths and the same problem is beginning to occur here as well. Piles of bikes just dropped on a random street corner blocking the pavement and making the area look messy.

[@hunajamansikka6078]

The extra footage in the end was really interesting! ^_^ By watching your videos I learn new things about China every time. Your videos are really good! :)

[@briansmobile1]

There's a term for this,"tragedy of the commons."

[@shuangyin5640]

In my opinion, this is just like a typical growing trend of a new thing. First, it grows quite well because of its innovation.And then as it grows, problems appear and it comes to the bottleneck stage. The next phase depends on how the problems are solved. If practiable solutions and regulations are put into practice, then it will became stable and a formal part of the transportation means. But if fails to solve issues, it just phases out. By the way, I really think our Chinese need to improve our bevariour when it comes to using shared stuff and places.

[@bikinggal1]

problem is...they botched up the proper way to run the business

[@3081604]

Thanks Winston for the video, the footage at the park is great, a very nice touch and did I mention the music, excellent choice. Thanks again

[@Song-tn8qy]

If they dont leave it in the designated area, the app can just charge them extra, for the app has gps and it "knows" where it is being parked

[@yanghailun]

Bullet Chan that's next step.

[@ComicalFlask]

Bullet Chan - That would require additional investment by the companies

[@phiksit]

I don't think there was much thought put into implementing these bicycles... like no impact studies or regulations. I imagine the politicians get some kickbacks to implement those bikes quickly once the idea was introduced.

[@PuerRidcully]

clever

[@l0rd0f0blivi0n]

From a programming perspective it would be quite simple, if you already have the gps co-ordinates, then you just check if the end location is within a designated area. The hard part is defining what is a "designated area". If it's set by the government then maybe they will provide a list designated areas (like the painted white lines), or maybe they'll provide a list of banned areas, which would probably be simpler logistically and programmatically.

[@pwnswoggle]

Hey Winston, love your channel. Any chance you could do some videos on the different aspects of gaming in China? The trends in mobile, console, PC and genuine vs fakes would all be interesting. I've also heard there's still quite a healthy underground arcade scene in China, there was an article last year about shmup super players. I originally found your channel from one of your gaming vids so more stuff would be cool. I work in mobile games and know that the trends are very different in China compared to not only the rest of the world but the rest of Asia. Either way I appreciate all the work you put in with your channel, I've learned a lot.

[@RobertSeviour1]

Really liked the Tai Chi, drone footage and accompanying music. Another great piece Winston.

[@stacykrett]

I really appreciate that you get right to the point and, for the most part, stay on topic in your videos.

[@styleage31]

Loved the Tai Chi footage bro. I can watch them all day. Very therapeutic

[@onemanshow4116]

We have a similar problem in the US... at the grocery store. It always pisses me off how people can't be bothered to walk their shopping cart to the designated area. In fact, it REALLY pissed me off when my car got hit by one of these carts on a windy day.

[@BradleyVanTreese]

Yep, definitely enjoyed the bonus Tai-chi footage (and music), Winston. Thanks for adding it!

[@markharrington8988]

Thanks again for another excellent video. The best was the end because it showed people out doing tai-chi. Not always the best way to spend a hot afternoon, but it was good to see people out and exercising. Keep up the good stuff. Any chance of some more aerials?

[@You_do_not_exist_Jack]

I really like these bikes, but here in Singapore everything is a bit more orderly (so much so that they actually _add_ to the aesthetic of the city imo) so I can see why they would be a slight nuisance in countries such as China. Edit: The bikes are actually a Singaporean concept and I think it is very plausible that Singapore might actually be the only place where they would be viable

[@mistadiscovery]

Hey brother Winston appreciate yourr videos watch them basically every morning with my coffee. Love to see you do more adventures if possible and show /interact with maybe some events going on in China if possible to do so kinda when you went into a Chinese mall .

[@VocaloidMadness]

My favorite part of the video was when you saw the homeless man , and even though you were busy , instead of just walking on by and acting like you didnt see him , you considered the fact that it was hot out , and that he probably needed a drink . However small a gesture it was , im sure the elderly man was given a small bit of hope , that there are still some people out there that do care .

You dont get the idea of how these mobike company make money. They dont rely on that 1 rmb per hour. Instead every user have to pay 100-200rmb deposit to the company wenn they first time use the app. These deposit can be totally taken back by the user anytime. But as long as user dont take these deposit out, these money is a large amount of working capital for a company. The can use these capital to buy other financial product, for example stock or funds. Thats how they make money.

[@emmae9924]

Yang Luo thanks

[@sculpter4169]

so these bike companies act as investment firms? how many investment firms succeed in china? i doubt they actually plan to make a fortune trading stocks. as long as the managers can run the business long enough to make a fortune on salaries then sell their shares of the company before the business collapses, they're happy. china is full of investment fraud. thats why there are hedge funds dedicated to ONLY short selling stocks on the HK market. im Chinese

[@martinmischpult]

In germany you dont have to pay any deposit for mobike

[@brennencox516]

I never saw this angle before... God I'm stupid :(

[@mayainverse9429]

but these bikes are mass produced and it wouldn't take long to pay off cost of bike. also even if thats not the case. its likely it would be the same thing as investing in planting trees that will take 100 years to reach an age they can be harvested at. yes it will take you 100 years before you can harvest the trees. but the total value of that property rises constantly as the trees grow. so you can buy the property and plant the trees. then sell the property for a profit when they are 1 foot tall. or buy it when they are 10feet tall and sell at 15. so for companies like this. you can make it really big really fast then even if you ignore initial investment or sign up fees if its very popular and widely used the value of company itself explodes with its popularity then you can sell. buuut if stuff like this is common where just shit loads of people pile on because of ether lack of copyright laws or lack of enforcement then potential buyers would likely wait. but who knows. i still think it wouldn't take that long to pay for the bike. and even if its some kind of short term scam the bikes will still be there long after the owners up and run with the money so still good for the people. those piles are insanity though.

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Just chill. Germany has such bike sharing programs. Same thing without a docking station. The things work out fine, when the city introduces the bicycle parking spots. The problem is not the bikes, but the lack of designated parking places for them. Same as for cars, when there is no parking spot, then everybody parks as they can.

I used to be a keen cyclist in London, but the traffic behaviour here in China is so dangerous I would never consider biking anywhere. I live in Changsha and have never seen the 'congestion' that you showed in the video. I might come across 2 or 3 bikes together but that's it.

[@Shrapnel82]

I love the bike parking spots. It's like the city planners have no idea about Chinese mentality. They spent time and effort (and money) to set aside a place for bike riders to park their bikes and keep the city tidy, and the Chinese collectively figured "It's easier for me to just drop it wherever, and the mess doesn't directly affect me, so whatever". Rules and regulations like that only work in a civilized country.

I think you went to local Police station to report his behaviour....and did you not get invited to a wedding by a young man too? I remember the video only had a few hundred views and when I went to look at it again the following day the views had skyrocketed to phenomenal (for me at least) levels.

[@coweatsman]

My guess is that China doesn't want any more US military presence in east Asia. Imagine the US if China had military bases in Mexico and in the Caribbean. The US has bases in Okinawa, Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines. Whatever the solution to the problem of North Korea China would not want it to involve an expansion of US military presence in East Asia and understandably so.

Can someone resolve the apparent contradiction between the seeming fact that Chinese people don't care of things that aren't theirs and the fact that they are a 'communist' culture? Is it just the tragedy of the commons writ large or is something else at play here?

[@yushuhuan]

Thomas Middleton This is an epitome of Tragedy of Commons. Without sense of ownership, people generally do not care the stuff they use. It is human nature and inevitable. Ultimately in an ideal socialism or communism society, the idea of shared onwership is widely accepted in every one's mind, and tragedy of commons will be voluntarily avoided. China has not reached the ideal state yet, it takes time.

[@yushuhuan]

Thomas Middleton China is not a communism society. Instead, she is a socialism society with some capitalism tweak. If 100% communism, there won't be those shared bike company existing.

This is the result of all communist societies. The commie Western academia tell us it's a good thing because people care for the insides of their houses instead of "mere appearance" of public spaces like shallow capitalists. (I'm not kidding--I heard a professor claim this once.)

Only truly religious people care about other people's property and their own. Non religious people are filled with greed,hate,jealousy,and stubborn habits.

The contradiction is resolved by realising that it is not a communist society in the slightest.

The bike sharing we got in sweden (and have had for a decade) all are dock free. You pick it up and pay, go where you''re supposed to go and park it there. They're not as cheap as there though and they're tracked with GNSS.
