Chinese bike-sharing startup Mobike has arrived in Washington D.C., its first U.S. city. The launch comes as myriad bike-sharing companies launch similar services across the country.

　　紧跟其他共享单车公司陆续在美国入驻的脚步，中国首家共享单车公司摩拜单车进军华盛顿，这也是摩拜单车进军的首家美国城市。

　　To recap, Mobike provides cities with the bikes and the technology platform, including mobile apps, allowing riders to unlock a bike by scanning a QR code with their phone. For longevity, the bikes are chainless, have puncture-proof airless tires, and are supported by an anti-rust aluminium frame.

　　摩拜单车作为基于手机app提供共享自行车的技术平台为人们的出行提供了便利，用户通过扫描自行车的二维码就能够实现自行车的解锁。同时其采用无链条传动、防刺穿轮胎以及防锈铝合金支架来提高自行车的使用寿命。

　　Importantly, the bikes are “dockless,” meaning users can padlock the bicycles anywhere once they’re finished. It’s easy for Mobike to find them again due to their built-in GPS functionality.

　　更为重要的是，摩拜自行车以其“dockless”特点而闻名，这意味着用户使用完自行车，可以把它们停在任何地方。自行车内置的GPS功能可以使摩拜系统很容易的再次锁定自行车的位置。

　　Launched in Shanghai back in 2016, Mobike rolled out to dozens of cities across China before landing in Singapore in March, followed by the U.K., Japan, and a number of other markets. Mobike is now available in 180 cities, though well over half of those are in China.

　　摩拜单车于2016年在上海成立，在今年3月登陆新加坡之前，该公司在中国的几十个城市都已推出了共享单车服务，随后其开始进军英国、日本以及其他一些国外市场。目前全球拥有摩拜单车的城市已有180多个，不过其中半数以上的城市都在中国。

　　Its arrival in the U.S. is notable, as it comes just a month after Chinese rival Ofo launched in its first U.S. city, Seattle, while U.S.-based competitor LimeBike just this week announced it was rolling out in a handful of cities across the U.S.

　　值得注意的是在摩拜单车入驻美国一个月前，其中国的竞争对手Ofo也在首次在美国的城市西雅图投放使用了共享单车，其美国竞争对手Limebike也于本周宣布要在美国的几个城市推出共享单车服务。

　　LimeBike has already said it plans to be available in up to 40 U.S. markets by the end of the year, and Ofo and Mobike won’t be content with just one or two cities either.

　　LimeBike公司计划在今年年底前在美国的40个城市提供服务，当然Ofo和摩拜单车也不会满足于仅仅一两个城市。

　　“We are working with a number of cities across the country and are confident this successful pilot will be the first of many partnerships, allowing us to make cycling the most convenient and affordable choice for transportation all around America,” noted Mobike U.S. manager Rachel Song.

　　摩拜单车的美国经理Rachel Song说“摩拜单车正在与许多美国城市展开合作。在华盛顿特区的成功试水，将为后续合作创造一个良好开端，帮助我们在全美推广智能共享单车。”
