Vinceng Turbocharged June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 Makes more sense to sell any unlocked O Bike to any foreign workers for $30 each. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 Collecting the bikes probably cost more than the bikes are worth. Anyway so what will happen to people that never even paid the deposit and now happily using the bike like my MIL. Will she go to jail for a long time? Old towels from the gym? So many people use already. Give me free also I don't want. Some people not clean one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxcvb Turbocharged June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 When California gym closed, my wife cannot get her hands on any towel or dumbells. So i dont think can take the bike and keep. I read TNP, scrap metal sells for 35cents a kg. And this bike weigh 15kg, so if sell as scrap, its $5 per bike.Many years ago my friend (not me) used to work in a hang flower joint which owed staff several months pay and closed down. It was a free for all, all the staff including managers and bouncers took alcohol bottles, dj equipment, etc. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beregond Supersonic June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 Nobody took the girls? When these big company close shop.The first 1 to get payment is the government. Whatever own to the government settle first. 2nd 1 is bank. Any leftover after paying these 2. Then we got chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethalstrike Turbocharged June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 Well, they had the worst bikes among all. Probably its a good thing as well. Mobike and Ofo doesn't require any deposit to use their bikes anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA will charge Obike only if they want to claim back the removed bikes. No penalty at all? How to financially penalize someone with no money? I rather whatever money left behind is used to pay back deposit than to disappear into govt coffers. Edited June 28, 2018 by Kusje Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 My point being... Since there is no way to be penalised further, there is no reason for Obike to even bother with spending further money (if any) to clear the bikes. These bikes will likely be in LTA impound for years till they decide to dispose and write off. Don't forget the money spent by LTA to engage contractors to remove these abandoned bikes. If Obike or the liquidators find it not financially viable to claim the bikes from LTA (Likely case) who will pay for the removal fees? Taxpayers. How to financially penalize someone with no money?I rather whatever money left behind is used to pay back deposit than to disappear into govt coffers. The question is.... . Where did the USD 45 million gone to in less than a year? https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/homegrown-obike-raises-s45-mil-power-global-expansion Washing machine? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, since obike already run road, dont think they would be bother to clear all the bikes. Dont think LTA can do anything to them?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
