In Geneva, we have dockless bikes, but they are not everywhere. Why ?

The bikes need to connect to an antenna (bike point). The range is only few meters, so you can only dock them in designated spots. Quite clever I think.

Wouldn't those be essentially the same as docked bikes then? You have to bring it to one of the designated locations to drop it off, just like with docks.

Yes, but number of bikes is limited by space and not by dock places.
