It is based in San Francisco and was founded as a start-up in 2017, launching as a dock-less bicycle-sharing system controlled by a mobile app for reservations. Spin later moved into scooter-sharing. HistorySpin was founded in 2016 as Skinny Labs, Inc. and announced in January 2017, hoping to bring Chinese-style dock-less bicycle sharing to the United States.[1] Spin raised $8 million in Series A venture capital financing led by Grishin Robotics in May, during preparation for a wider rollout in other cities.[2] Spin launched in Seattle, Washington, on July 17, 2017, becoming the city's first dock-less bicycle-sharing system under new regulations from the city government.[3] Spin debuted with 500 bicycles in Seattle, and exceeded 5,000 rides during its first week in operation, surpassing the city's former bicycle-sharing system, Pronto Cycle Share.[4] In late July, Spin announced plans to expand to South San Francisco, California, as part of a larger national rollout.[5] The New York City Department of Transportation, however, ordered the closure of operations in Rockaway, Queens.[6] In February 2018, Spin rolled out scooter sharing, starting in San Francisco. The scooters were initially priced at $1 to unlock, plus fifteen cents a minute.[7] The company launched in Austin, Texas, during South by Southwest in March 2017. The service was suspended by Spin within a day of launch, due to a dispute with the city government over permits and regulations.[8][9] On April 12, 2018, San Francisco's Public Works department seized several dozen Spin bikes after pedestrians objected to the bikes blocking sidewalks.[10] With the expiration of Seattle's bikeshare pilot program permit, Spin decided not to seek a new permit with the city and ceased their operations there in September 2018.[11] On November 7, 2018, the Ford Motor Company announced that it had acquired Spin and aims to expand its service to more cities. The Wall Street Journal reported that Spin was valued at $80 to 90 million at the time of the purchase.[12] Equipment and usageSpin uses orange-colored, three-speed bicycles equipped with onboard GPS units and cellular modems. Rides cost $1 for every 30 minutes, or $29 per month with unlimited 30-minute rides.[13][14] Bicycles are unlocked using a mobile app that scans a QR code on the bicycle.[15] When it operated in Seattle, bicycles had to be parked in designated landscape/furniture zones on sidewalks.[16] Locations
In November 2017, the company announced that they plan to expand to Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Durham, Scottsdale, Houston, Silver Spring, Doral, and Miami Lakes by the end of 2017.[21] In summer 2018, it began operating a system with Lime in certain suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. (Specifically Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Milton, Needham, Newton, Revere, Waltham, Watertown, and Winthrop.[22]) Dockless bikes are excluded from the Hubway operating area in the urban core.
