Bike-sharing app ‘Nextbike’ closing in Malta; credits multiple reasons

Dec 29 2022

The company behind bike-sharing app Nextbike, Nextbike Malta Limited, has announced that it will be terminating its operations in Malta on 31st December 2022.

The company listed a number of reasons behind the decision, including the emergence of micro-mobility systems, ride-hailing services and free public transport, in addition to the lack of suitable urban bike infrastructure & road safety.

“Regular theft and vandalism, in addition to two years of COVID, have also had a terrible effect on the company’s income”, a lengthy post by the company stated.

“Nextbike Malta is still of the opinion that a national bike-sharing program is necessary. But these systems’ unit economics won’t function unless the government actively encourages, promotes, and provides incentives for people to use bicycles as a substitute form of transportation.”

The company has informed the public and their followers that the Customer Service number (+356 2099 6666) will be in operation until January 31, 2023.
