About
Qiming Weng started Dropbike in Toronto in 2017 after seeing lock-and-drop bike sharing on trips abroad: no docking stations, a smartphone unlocking a bike wherever the last rider left it. The company put 100 bikes on the University of Toronto's St. George campus in June 2017 and partnered with the City of Kingston the same month, which made Kingston the first city in North America with a dockless service. It demoed the system on the TechTO stage that June. Deployments followed in Waterloo Region, Kelowna and at UBC, several of which ended when cities and campuses changed operators. The business now runs as Drop Mobility, selling bike and e-scooter share systems and software to municipalities, campuses and operators rather than running a consumer-facing Toronto service.
