Bdood is a dockless bike-sharing company, located in Tehran, Iran. first featured in Iranian tech exhibition Elecomp 97 in 2018[2], it claims to be the first and exclusively the only bike-sharing business in Iran.[3]
As is common with dockless bike sharing companies, users can use a smartphone app to rent the bicycles at a minimum rate of 15,000IRR (about 0.10US$) per 30 minutes of usage, and can leave the bicycle anywhere within the operating area.[citation needed]
In 2017, it had deployed over 5,000 bikes in the central parts of Tehran, and months later it added about 700 more bikes in the north-west regions of the city. The company plans to increase the total number of bikes to 250,000 which, according to the firm, is the maximum capacity the city can handle. [4]
Usage
Use of the system requires the firm's mobile application, registration and payment of a deposit [5] Customers can use the company's mobile app on their smartphones to locate nearby bicycles. Each bike is equipped with a Bluetooth and Internet connection, and has a QR code on the frame, which the customer scans to unlock the bike. When they finish their ride, they manually lock and leave the bike in any parking spot to be ready for the next user.
