{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2013}}{{Use New Zealand English|date=January 2013}}{{update|date=May 2017}}Nextbike was a bicycle rental scheme in New Zealand, franchised from the German Nextbike company. It operated in the CBD and central suburbs of Auckland City from 2008 to 2010. Due to lack of sufficient advertising revenue, the company ceased operations in that year after failing to win emergency funding from the new Auckland Council. However, it is expected to make a bid for a newly tendered contract by Council to provide a public bike rental scheme, as the bikes of the scheme are still present in storage.[1]

History

As of 2009, the bike fleet had grown from 70 to 170.[2] The company notes that during summer, bikes were being ridden about three hours a day, which was higher than the use rate in some European schemes. To encourage use, registered riders also received 30 minutes free use each day.[2]

Unlike some much larger overseas schemes, the rental system has been implemented privately (financed by a combination of rental fees and advertising on the bikes){{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} though it has recently won official sponsorship from the Auckland Regional Transport Authority.[3] It has also been tipped as a method of travel for visiting tourists at the Rugby World Cup 2011.[4]

The company was also involved in promoting three potential 'Great Urban Rides' routes in Auckland, aimed at marketing interesting and convenient bicycle tour routes to tourists and locals,[5] in a city which is often considered to be unattractive to cycling.
