Mobike, One of China's largest bike-sharing companies, announced its first foray into the U.S. market on Wednesday, with an initial placement of dockless bikes in downtown areas of Washington DC.
The bikes are powered by unique high-tech features including smart-lock technology, non-puncture airless tires and bike status sensors.
This move brings the total number of cities with a Mobike presence to more than 180 within less than 18 months.
