Abstract: A smart lock of a bicycle includes a bicycle locking apparatus and a dock locking apparatus. The bicycle locking apparatus works with a key to lock the bicycle without dock, and the dock locking apparatus works with a dock to lock the bicycle to the dock. The bicycle locking apparatus includes a gear, a locking member, and a driving module. The locking member has a locking tooth portion, the driving module moves the locking member to engage and disengage the locking tooth portion of the locking member with an engaging portion of the key. The dock locking apparatus has a locking latch and a stop member. The driving module moves the locking member to let the stop member against or away from the locking latch to lock or unlock the bicycle to the dock.

Abstract: An apparatus, which is connected to a bicycle, includes a case having a chamber, a main device received in the chamber of the case, a locking member connected to the main device, a lid connected to the case to seal the chamber, wherein the lid has a bore and the bore is received in the chamber of the case, and a transceiver received in the chamber of the case and electrically connected to the locking member, wherein the transceiver receives a signal to control the locking member accordingly. The apparatus can be opened by the outside signal transmitted to the transceiver only.

Abstract: A bicycle rental system includes a plurality of rental bicycles, each of which has a locking apparatus, a controlling apparatus, and a parking locker. The locking apparatus is operated to lock the rental bicycle, and the parking locker is able to engage and lock a dock locker of the dock. The controlling apparatus transmits signals to a control system, and receives signals from the control system through a network. The bicycle rental system may return the rental bicycle with or without the docks, and may rent the rental bicycle by a mobile device or a tag device.

Abstract: A smart handlebar of a rental bicycle includes a handlebar and a controlling apparatus. The controlling apparatus is connected to the handlebar, and has a processor, to which a display, a reader module, a code generating module, a transceiver module, and a positioning module are electrically connected. The code generating module generates a rental code shown on the display to be scanned by a mobile device. The reader module detects and reads a tag device to generate a rental signal accordingly. The positioning module determines a location of the rental bicycle and generates a bicycle location data accordingly. The transceiver module transmits a rental signal to a control system, and receives a control signal from the control system. The rental bicycle can be rented by either the mobile device or the tag device.
