The partner company is Adshel - see http://www.adshel.com

There may be a problem for anyone wanting to do this in lower-income
cities. The Smartbike schemes by Adshel are funded entirely by advertising
on the bikes and on the docking stations.  So I imagine that they may
require a certain level of income of the people in the area in order for
the space to be attractive enough to advertisers. 

I hope this helps.
