We provide a mobile application that was designed and developed based on feedback by actual users of our electric bikes. The User experience is important.
Our electric bikes are truly connected objects, providing real-time feedback on their position, battery level and more. Choose your offer – self-service or long-term rental – download the application and go.

You can easily use one of our shared e-bikes through our mobile application by either entering a name of a bar, restaurant, shop, store, gym… or by entering the full address.
Cycling doesn’t have a carbon footprint of zero because of the emissions required to manufacture and distribute a bike, and because of the extra food someone may have to eat to “fuel” the cycling they do. But this carbon footprint is minimal – if you rode your bike just 2 miles a day, five days a week instead of driving, you’d offset this initial footprint of the bike in less than a year.
Overall, bikes are extremely more energy efficient than cars. Someone riding a bike can go 960 miles on the amount of energy that is required to drive a car just 20 miles.
After entering your destination address, the app shows you the bikes closest to your position: these can be in the public space, in a dedicated parking space, or in a physical station.
If your bike is not attached to a station:
To unlock it, click on the “SCAN” button and scan the QR code written on the smartphone holder fixed under the handlebar of the bike. If you are unable to scan this code, you can also enter the bike number starting with 10XXX by clicking “MANUAL” at the bottom left of your screen.
Once the code is entered, wait a few seconds for the app to connect to the bike. Once connected, the bike will beep and the app will display your ride route on the screen.
Hang your phone on the support provided, in the center of the handlebars, and enjoy your ride!
If your bike is attached in a station:
Approach the bicycle parked at the end of the line, opposite the stationary post. To unlock it, click on the “SCAN” button and scan the QR code written on the smartphone holder fixed under the handlebar of the bike. If you are unable to scan this code, you can also enter the bike number starting with 10XXXX by clicking “MANUAL” at the bottom left of your screen.
Once the code is entered, wait a few seconds for the app to connect to the bike. Once connected, the bike will beep and the app will display your ride route on the screen.
The bikes are attached to each other via two magnets located on the right side of the bike. To detach the bike from the previous one, press the left brake handle of the bike and pull it towards you; the bike will come off naturally.
Then hang your phone on the support provided for this purpose, in the center of the handlebars, and enjoy your trip!
If the bike you want to use is broken, the app will offer to park it near the station and you can then start a new ride request by scanning the QR code of the next bike.

Your trip should ended automatically. Once your trip has ended, you will receive a summary of the trip including the distance ridden and the price you were charged.

do not park the bike on a sidewalk where it could get in the way of pedestrians, especially people with reduced mobility
do not encroach on the roadway
