You unlock a city bike through the app. In the app you'll get an overview of where the stations are, and how many bikes and locks that are available on each of them. You can download the app for both iPhone and Android. In order to unlock a bike you need to stand next to a station:
1. See to that the station that shows up in the app is the same one that you're standing next to (if another station shows up, check out this guide)
2. Press Unlock bike
3. The app will show you what dock your bike is stationed in
4. Go to the bike and press the button on the handlebars if prompted. It may take up to 40 seconds after you press the button to unlock.
5. Take the bike out of the dock
Have a great ride 🚴
When locking a bike you simply roll it into the dock. In order to check if the bike is in fact registered as delivered, see to that the bike:
1. Plays a little jingle
2. The light in front of the bike will blink green
3. The light in the back of the bike will stop blinking red
4. Most important: The app will tell you that "the bike has been returned", and show you the name of the bike, the station you biked to and from and how long the trip lasted.
The City Bikes are available for unlock from 5 am to midnight. You can park in a station at any time. Enjoy!
The bikes are available 365 days a year.
During your trip you will have the possibility to pause the trip, this could be helpful for situations where you need to have a quick break to head by the local shop. To pause the trip:
1. When you have an active trip the button "Pause trip" will appear on the app screen.
2. Press the pause button.
3. Wait until the light in the front starts blinking blue, afterwards press the lock pin downwards. (Make sure that the lock is not colliding with the wheel oaks, as you won't be able to push the lock pin all the way down.) When the light in the front appears green then the bike is in pause mode.
The bike is now in pause mode, until you decide to resume the trip. This can easily be done by pressing the unlock/unpause button in the app.
The lock pin will then automatically pop up again, and you may continue your ride. 🚴
N.B: The included rental will be ongoing when the bike is in pause, as well as your responsibility for the bike
