My First oBike experience | Bike rental

---

So I've been seeing these bicycles all around the place in Kuala Lumpur and have been interested to try it out. I needed to head to get a few stuff from the nearby shops and decided to cycle instead of driving.

	You need to download the oBike app from Appstore or Playstore and register yourself. Apparently you first few rides are free
	You can use the app to located the closes oBike which is available for use. So far its pretty much everywhere.
	You need to scan the bike you want to use and it will unlock the break.
	Once you have reached your location all you gotta do is pull down the stands and lock the bike while your phone is near the brakes at the back.
	It took a few seconds but it will then acknowledge that the oBike has ended your ride and you can just walk away.
	These were few of the stats which keeps track of distance traveled , time and how much it cost.
	If you do plan to use it often, there is like this membership plan. Perfect for backpacking tourist ( i guess ) or for people like me to travel from my house to the Metro lines.

No doubt there are high possibilities of these bikes being vandalized or stolen, but every bike has its GPS and if those bikes gets stolen there are merit points tied down to the last known users.

• Everyone starts with 100 oBike credit points
• If you parking at non-designated bike parking areas. -20 points
• Forget to lock but a bike is not lost -20
• If you are in violation of traffic rules, add private lock, losing or damaging the bike, your points is reduced to ZERO

So what happens if your credit points goes below 100

• '>=100, its original price is RM0.50/30 minutes
• <100, and >= 80, its original price is RM1.00/30 minutes
• <80, and >= 60, the price is RM5.00/30minutes
• <60, its RM10/30 minutes
