Dockless Bike Sharing Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Letscycle' Lets You Pick Up and Drop Off a Bike Anywhere

— January 27, 2018 — Tech
Existing bike sharing systems can be difficult to incorporate into a new region given the need for a stationary dock, so the 'Letscycle' dockless bike sharing service has been created to help end this. The system works by enabling users to rent a bike at a low-cost on their college campus, ride it to their destination and simply leave it in a designated parking spot. This creates a more decentralized experience that shows strong promise for urban areas where it might be difficult or virtually impossible to incorporate a tradition bike sharing service.

The 'Letscycle' dockless bike sharing service is also quite cost-effective for students to afford to ensure that they can access what they need without having to fork over too much of their money.
Trend Themes
1. Dockless Bike Sharing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a dockless bike sharing platform that uses GPS technology for easy pick-up and drop-off anywhere.
2. Decentralized Bike Sharing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a decentralized bike sharing system that allows users to leave bikes in designated parking spots, eliminating the need for stationary docks.
3. Affordable Bike Sharing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design an affordable bike sharing service specifically targeted towards cost-conscious students to promote accessibility.
Industry Implications
1. Urban Transportation - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate dockless bike sharing platforms into urban transportation systems to provide sustainable and convenient last-mile solutions.
2. Higher Education - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with colleges and universities to implement dockless bike sharing services on campuses, creating a more cost-effective and flexible transportation option for students.
3. Smart Mobility - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine dockless bike sharing with smart mobility technologies to offer seamless integration with public transportation, thereby reducing congestion and promoting eco-friendly commuting.
