MYBYK is a station-based with bicycle-sharing and renting service in India.

History

MYBYK was founded in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in May 2014 by Arjit Soni. Supported by private sector funds and the Amdavad Municipal Corporation, the project was initially started with 200 bicycles and 4 stations, in conjunction with Ahmedabad Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS). The bicycle stations are located at BRTS stations, which allows public transport users to use bicycles from BRTS stations to homes and offices.

MYBYK expanded its service to Jamnagar, Mumbai, and Udaipur, operating with 5,500 cycles. In 2022, MYBYK started services in Nagpur in association with Nagpur Metro, with hubs at metro stations for last-mile connectivity. Around the same time, the company expanded services to the largest city in central India, Indore, in partnership with Atal Indore City Transport Service Limited with 1,000 cycles. A plan to increase the number of cycles by 3,000 was also approved.

In 2023, the company launched electric bicycles as part of its fleet.

Overview

MYBYK bicycles can be rented through a mobile app.

Reliance Industries Limited, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Baxter, TATA, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Suzuki Motors Gujarat, SRF Chemicals Ltd., Wonder Cement, and Adani Shantigram Township are B2B clients of MYBYK.
