have been seeing several but
not many ofo bikes in town
*
have been wondering if
they have really landed or
brought in as private bikes
for rental under
independent proprietors
i.e. hostel owners etc
*
so at where we parked our motorbike
i spotted two
they have been there for days
but yesterday it wasn’t dark yet
so i actually took my time to
check out the QR code and lock
*
and two of them
actually have different locks
but it confirmed my guess that
ofo has officially landed in Malaysia
i randomly posted a picture on
WeChat Moment about unlocking this
haha my kind friends from Mainland
must find me dump
just scan and go! one suggested
just scan on your Wechat!!
just open Alipay!!!
*
apparently these will not work
as it woks under different system here
well we don’t even have Alipay
yeah accepted here by merchants
like 7-11, department stores etc
but individual users like us
are not able to create an account yet
*
then i found more bikes
nearer to the attractions
and instructions on how to unlock it
*
day 2
i.e. today
i was so pumped up
got the apps ready on
my dad’s and my own phones
just type “ofo” on App/Play Store
*
looks promising isn’t it
but i am not sure for how long
before some disappear into thin air
*
just click on the Unlock button
and a QR scanner will appear
scan the bike that you want
and it will be auto unlocked
*
i managed to unlock a bike for my dad
then my own phone was
on scanning mode as well
*
then shit happened
i accidentally scanned on the
same bike twice
*
so both phones were actually
accidentally sharing one bike
wth i know right
*
so i chose to
complete trips for both
so that i can re choose
but for second attempt
i have to enter payment detail
in order to proceed
*
there goes my short-lived
very first ofo trip
i haven’t been on the bike yet
*
i will be back!!!!!
sooner or later
*
this was snapped in Guangzhou
earlier last month
i wonder if we will be heading
towards this direction or
will eventually die out
like the other failed projects
which is something we are so used to
*
Alipay Alipay
when are you coming for real
and please make it so accessible that
i can use my foreign accounts in Mainland
everywhere i go out
