This is quite unlike Helsinki’s first city bike system 2000–2010, that was the same as in Copenhagen.
These were some cursed clunkers, plastic bearings in the hubs and massive rubber tires. You used them with a 2€ deposit, like a shopping cart.
Quite a few met an untimely end at the bottom of Helsinki’s many waterways.
I saw folks in yellow vests testing what I presume to be new candidate city bikes for Helsinki. Apparently the plan is to replace the successful ”Alepa” bikes when the 2026 season opens, a year from now. Some of the bikes were e-assist. Even considering ebikes has been criticised by some, but is popular e.g. in Madrid. Lahti also has ebikes.
Crappy photo, but would seem there are 8 candidates at this stage (you can see that C1 and C2 are different bikes).

Effectively the #OpenBikeSharing app is dead in #Hamburg since two years because the #CityBikes API in #PyBikes didn't handle the #CallABike API. That API now is declared broken since over a year.

Looks like this mess will never get fixed and the OpenBikeSharing app will stay completely useless in Hamburg and all other cities in Germany where Call-a-Bike operates?
