OYBike docking stations will consist of specially developed electronic locks and stands to which OYBike cycles can be secured. The OYBike docking station is a self-contained locking device with built in keypad and display. The device will use an algorithm to generate ID numbers, which identifies the cycle and port, then, from this enables the system to generate a release code.

  1. Subscriber selects bike they wish to hire
  2. Subscriber calls OYBike control centre, an operator will answer their call.
  3. They will be prompted to read the number which is displayed on the OYBike docking station.

  5. A release code will then be given back to the user allowing them to enter it into the OYBike docking station to release the bicycle.
  6. Hire commences.
