Chinese bike-sharing major Mobike said on Tuesday that it will launch services in the United Kingdom in Manchester and Salford at the end of this month as it ramps up efforts to compete with rivals such as ofo in overseas markets.

摩拜单车周二表示，将于本月底在英国曼彻斯特和索尔福德开通共享单车服务，以提升在海外市场的竞争力。

Mobike, backed by internet giant Tencent Holdings Ltd, said it will roll out 1,000 bikes at the end of June. After the scheme is up and running, the company will consider future expansion.

The move is part of Mobike's ambitious plan to expand its presence in the European continent. The company said it will launch services to a series of European cities over the next few months.

Weiwei Hu, founder of Mobike, said: "We're very excited to make Manchester and Salford Mobike's first European partners. They have long been a European leader in culture, innovation and technology."

This came shortly after one of Mobike's most successful domestic competitors ofo came to the UK in April, which launched 50 bikes in Cambridge as part of a pilot program.
