This is a neat tool, and while this is maybe a bit too local for hackernews, I can say that using the current ebike rental system in Stockholm is pretty problematic atm. Currently the perspective is like you go to find a bike in the official app, but there are none there in reality. Or it doesn&#x27;t unlock or the battery is at like 3 percent (shown in the app when unlocked). The system is great however when it does work because ebikes are nice.<p>To be honest, with how open data is becoming I would bet we see more solutions from independent parties to solve problems with official solutions. Was an interesting case to see here. And ofc I am benefitting from it by being able to actually ride ebikes so that&#x27;s nice. Some problems with the app I notice ofc (doesnt show your location well imo), but the official app is so horrible I overlook this.<p>Here was the original reddit thread posted on this where I saw it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;stockholm&#x2F;comments&#x2F;wc6yot&#x2F;stockholm_bike_map_karta_f%C3%B6r_att_se_var_cyklarna&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;stockholm&#x2F;comments&#x2F;wc6yot&#x2F;stockholm...</a>
