Ofo pilot comes to an end as industry evolves

In partnership with the city and county of Denver, DU launched a dockless bike-share mobility pilot with Beijing-based company ofo in May 2018. The successful launch saw over 35,000 rides in May. The mobility industry has changed rapidly since then, with pedal bicycles being replaced by electric bicycles and scooters. Due to this shift, ofo has decided to halt operations in the U.S. and cancel its contract with DU. As of Dec.11, 2018 ofo bikes are no longer available. The pilot showed there is a clear demand for dockless mobility options among our community and DU will continue to explore similar opportunities.
