Mobike, the world’s first smart bikeshare company, continues to expand its European presence after the launch of three new cities in September. The new cities in Spain and Germany now means that Mobike is live in 23 European cities, just over a year since first launch.

At the start of September, Mobike opened in the German city of Hanover. The launch quickly followed the recent expansion from Berlin into Düsseldorf and Cologne.

Ms. Overbeck added: “We want to offer people in Hanover a sustainable and responsible mobility solution.”

The company is also deploying its latest 3-geared bike that gives riders the greatest possible comfort.
