How does renting work?

In the app, you can see all available bikes, e-bikes, and all active stations.
- In the app, tap on Rent.
- Press the on/off button on the bike lock.
- The bike number appears in the app and you can unlock it.
Take a break
- Press the on/off button on the bike lock.
- Pull the lever on the right side of the lock down and hold it briefly until the lock closes.
End your ride
Ride to any active PubliBike Velospot station visible on the map to return your bike or e-bike.
