OFO or mobike, who do you prefer?

* * * Enjoy cycling into our daily life, among which ofo and mobike are the most attractive. Here are some of my experiences in using ofo and mobike.

The difference between OFO and mobike: Introduction to ofo: Based on the campus, ofo adopts the light mode of providing ordinary bicycles and mechanical locks. OFO*** enjoys the vehicles on the platform from two aspects: one is to recycle a large number of abandoned bicycles on campus and accept donations from students; Second, the platform was purchased by itself, modified with mechanical locks, number plates, painted yellow and put into use, and was dubbed "Little Yellow Car".

When in use, the user searches for nearby vehicles through the built-in map of APP or WeChat official account, sends the license plate number, and obtains the password to unlock the "Little Yellow Car"; When returning the car, you can pay by WeChat, lock the car nearby, and don't have to return it to the designated car pile. Ofo restricts users from leaving campus. Only even-numbered vehicles can leave school, and the price is four times that of the school. Mobike introduced: mobike adopted heavy-duty vehicles designed and manufactured independently. In order to reduce maintenance, mobike doesn't even have a chain. Users use the APP to find nearby vehicles, scan the code to open the electronic lock, and there is no need to return the car to the designated car pile. Mobike requires users to park their vehicles within the white line that allows parking, and it is strictly forbidden to park in the community. Team mobike will be responsible for recycling vehicles. In addition, mobike has established a credit evaluation system to regulate users' behavior. Cost comparison: it is difficult to make ends meet. From the cost point of view, OFO adopts the light mode of ordinary bicycle+mechanical lock, and the cost is relatively low. Although some cars come from the campus "zombie car" and alumni, they only account for 10%, most of them are self-operated bicycles, and the cost of bicycles is around 270 yuan; But the cost is higher in mobike. The initial design and production cost of 1 mobike is as high as 6000 yuan. At present, the cost has been gradually reduced, but it is as high as 3000 yuan. From the perspective of cost recovery, OFO is widely used by students on campus. The average daily usage of each vehicle is 10, and the customer unit price is 0.3 yuan, which can be returned in about 3 months. In Hangzhou, where public bicycles are relatively developed, the average daily usage of bicycles is stable at 4-5 times. Because mobike's online time is short, it will take at least 33 months to recover the cost of 3,000 yuan, based on an average of 3 times a day and no more than half an hour each time. If you want to recover the cost of 3000 yuan, it will take at least 33 months without changing the charging rules. Any project can become a business, and a business must be established first, which requires profits to be greater than costs. In terms of profit, OFO 1 cent per minute, without deposit; Mobike needs to pay a deposit of 299 yuan for half an hour/kloc-0 yuan. Note: mobike and ofo have their own advantages. Only I think ofo * * likes riding a bike. The car is lighter, so it is less laborious and easier to ride.

It's really hard to say who you prefer.

Of course, these are relatively easy to improve, depending on how designers make decisions. Mobike is also adjusting and updating to reduce costs, and ofo is also designing safer and more durable models.

Today, as my student, I will choose ofo, because it is economical, students are free of deposit and the fees are low.
