İsbike (styled as isbike) is a public bicycle sharing system serving Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.
Launched in 2012, it serves with 300 stations and 3000 bikes on both sides of the city.
In 2022, isbike founded a bicycling school, aimed to provide bicycle training to approximately 10 thousand people.[1]
The system uses Baksi smart biking system. The users can either get membership or use their credit cards to access the bikes.
All trips are charged, whether or not the user is a member.[2]
isbike was included in the 2022 budget due to votes by city residents.[3] Due to maintenance bikes were not available in January 2022,[4] but later that year there were complaints about empty and closed stations, for example in Zeytinburnu.[5]
