Bike that's maintenance free for 4 years?

[cotswolds]

It's a new hire bike in Shanghai/Singapore.

Bit short on technical info, but 'features' include:
Solid tyres
Shaft drive
No docking stations - leave it anywhere
Lock with GPS and mobile network connection (which tells the system where you've left it when you lock it).
Non-adjustable saddle with position that looks uncomfortable whatever your height.
Designed to be maintenance free for 4 years.
Ridiculously cheap to hire - about 12p/half hour.

It must be hideously uncomfortable - all the video shows people standing on the pedals to ride it.

Can't see it working myself - if it's the least bit usable, surely they'll all get nicked.

It only has to be better than walking. You could probably put up with one for a mile possibly even two, Singapore isnt very big.

........... Singapore isnt very big.

According to Wiki, it's 31miles east to west, and 16miles north to south.
I've cycled there extensively.

The young lady with the blue trousers looks quite comfortable.

She's a toe-dipper.
