As of September 2026, Anywheel and HelloRide are Singapore’s two licensed bike-sharing operators, with rides starting from $1 and family bikes available for parents cycling with younger children.

Anywheel vs HelloRide: bike-sharing services in Singapore

1. Anywheel

Best for: Bike availability and everyday last-mile journeys

Anywheel is a local bike-sharing company and the larger of Singapore’s two licensed operators. Its recognisable, funky green bikes are everywhere. You know the drill: find one of its bikes, unlock it using the app and push off.

Bikes and rates

Anywheel offers regular bikes and family bikes. The regular bike costs $1 for every 30 minutes. Charges are calculated in 30-minute blocks, which means a 40-minute ride will be charged as two blocks.

Frequent riders can also look out for Anywheel passes in the app. The operator regularly offers short-term and longer-term passes, although the prices, ride allowances and eligible bicycle types may change.

The family bike includes a rear child seat and costs from $4 for every 30 minutes. Anywheel has also introduced passes and promotions that include family bikes, so check the app for the latest options before setting off.

Payment system

Add credits to your Anywheel wallet before using its services. Anywheel does not require a bicycle deposit, but make sure you have sufficient credit in the app before trying to unlock a bike.

Number of bikes and where to find them

Anywheel is licensed to operate a fleet of up to 35,000 bicycles around Singapore. They can be found in residential areas as well as tourist and city hotspots. Since the company focuses on first- and last-mile connectivity, you’ll often spot its bikes near bus stops and MRT stations.

Availability varies throughout the day, so use the in-app map instead of heading to a location and hoping for the best.

Bonus

You can also locate and rent power banks through the Anywheel app, although a refundable deposit may apply to the power-bank service. The app also runs promotions and rewards programmes from time to time, including opportunities to earn ride coupons.

More info: Visit Anywheel or download the Anywheel app on Google Play. Apple users can search for “Anywheel” in the App Store.

2. HelloRide

Best for: Islandwide family bikes and longer standard-bike rides

HelloRide may be the newer kid on the bike-sharing block in Singapore, but it has grown quickly since launching here in 2022. The blue bikes are now available islandwide, with a fleet of 25,000 bicycles as of July 2026.

Bikes and rates

HelloRide offers standard bikes and family bikes. Standard bikes are priced from $1 for the first 30 minutes and $0.50 for every subsequent 10 minutes. This may work well for riders who need slightly more than half an hour and don’t want to pay for another full 30-minute block.

Family bikes start from $4 per 30 minutes and come with a rear child seat. HelloRide also offers family-bike passes from time to time. Check the app for current prices, ride limits and pass validity.

HelloRide introduced its Explorer Bike in 2026 for leisure rides around selected parts of Marina Bay Sands and East Coast Park. Rides on the Explorer Bike start from $4, and users should check the app for the latest supported riding zones and parking information.

Payment system

Register a payment method in the HelloRide app before starting your ride. The operator promotes a no-top-up payment system, but passes and payment options may be updated, so check the app for the latest arrangements.

Number of bikes and where to find them

HelloRide expanded its Singapore fleet to 25,000 bicycles in July 2026. Its bikes can now be found across the island, including neighbourhoods, heartland areas and popular cycling spots.

You’ll frequently see them around East Coast Park, Marina Bay, the National Stadium, parks along the Kallang River, Little India, Bugis and Boon Keng. However, the quickest way to find an available bicycle is still through the HelloRide app.

Bonus

Some of HelloRide’s newer bicycles have upgraded pedals, more comfortable seats and integrated phone holders. Its latest batch of bikes also includes cushioned suspension seats for a smoother ride. Swipe to the Rewards section in the app to see whether there are points, tasks or free-ride offers available.

More info: Visit HelloRide, or download the HelloRide app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Where can you ride shared bikes in Singapore?

According to LTA’s cycling rules and code of conduct, conventional bicycles can be ridden on footpaths, cycling paths, shared paths and most roads.

Bicycles are not allowed on expressways, road tunnels or pedestrian-only paths. These pedestrian-only paths can often be found beside dedicated cycling paths, particularly in residential areas, so keep an eye on the signs and surface markings.

The speed limit is 10km/h on footpaths and 25km/h on cycling and shared paths. Slow down around pedestrians, keep left unless overtaking and give way to walkers at crossings and busy areas.

Where can you park a shared bike in Singapore?

You must end your ride at a designated bicycle parking zone. These include marked yellow boxes and approved bicycle racks, which can be located through the operators’ apps.

Once you arrive at a parking zone:

1. Park the bicycle neatly within the designated area.
2. Manually lock the bicycle.
3. Scan the QR code displayed at the parking zone.
4. Check the app to confirm that the ride has ended.

Parking outside a designated area or failing to scan the parking QR code can result in a $5 improper-parking fee. Repeat offenders may also be banned from using shared-bicycle services.

If the parking QR code is damaged or missing, take a photograph and report it to the operator through the app instead of leaving without completing the ride.

Are shared bicycles safe for families and kids?

Standard shared bikes are designed for adults, so younger children may not be able to reach the pedals or handle the size and weight of the bicycle. Check the minimum rider age in the operator’s current terms before allowing a teenager to register or ride independently.

Both operators offer family bikes fitted with a rear child seat. However, availability varies, and family bikes are heavier and can be harder to manoeuvre than standard bicycles.

Before riding with a child, check:

• The maximum permitted weight displayed on the child seat or in the app
• That the child restraint or harness fastens securely
• That the seat and footrests are not damaged
• That both brakes work properly
• That the tyres are sufficiently inflated
• That the bicycle lock has released completely

Shared bicycles generally do not come with helmets. Helmets are compulsory when cycling on roads and are a sensible safety precaution for adults and children wherever you ride.

Never use a bicycle that appears damaged. Report the problem through the app and choose another one instead.

What should you do if a shared bike is damaged or you have an accident?

If you find a damaged bicycle before your ride, report it through the operator’s app and use another bike. Don’t assume that a wobbly seat, soft tyre or questionable brake will be fine once you get going.

In the event of an accident:

• Move away from traffic if it is safe to do so.
• Call 995 for an ambulance or medical emergency.
• Call 999 if police assistance is required.
• Take photographs of the bicycle, surrounding area and any visible damage where appropriate.
• Report the incident to the bike-sharing operator through its app or customer support channel.
• Do not continue riding a damaged bicycle.

What happened to bike sharing in Singapore?

Bike sharing was a great idea: a fleet of bicycles around the island that people could use affordably and conveniently. On paper, it was an excellent plan. In reality, there were bikes, bikes and more bikes cluttering up pathways, thrown into bushes or even abandoned in swimming pools – we saw this more than once. Sadly, too many of them were also broken.

To address indiscriminate parking and an oversupply of bicycles, the Land Transport Authority introduced a licensing framework for bike-sharing operators in 2018. Operators must now manage the size and condition of their fleets, remove improperly parked bicycles and integrate LTA’s QR-code parking system into their apps.

Several former operators, including GBikes, oBike, SG Bike and ShareBikeSG, have since ceased operating. As of September 2026, Anywheel and HelloRide are the only two licensed shared-bicycle operators in Singapore.
