The familiar yellow bicycles of failed bike-sharing firm ofo have returned to some streets in Singapore in the past week, but this time sporting a different brand.
Some 1,000 of them were bought brand new from a warehouse in Singapore and refurbished by home-grown mobility start-up Moov Technology, which in April was granted a sandbox licence to run up to 1,000 bicycles here. The firm launched its service last week and its bikes have begun showing up in the western part of Singapore, in places such as Boon Lay and Pioneer.
