What others say

Easy to use app with plenty of information on how to hire and what bikes are available. Bikes are pretty good to use and kept in good condition.

Works wonderfully. Parking Mode during a ride is also no problem. I've had different experiences with other providers.

I discovered the app when I moved from the country to the city for my studies and couldn't take my bike with me. It's quick and easy, even better than I thought. Great idea!

The unrestricted mobility in the city is great. You always have a connection to the train or bus for the last few metres.
