REGISTRATION

Registration is free of charge. In order to verify your account, a €1 deposit is required and will become rental credit to use later on.

RENTAL

Simply scan the QR Code on the bike with the nextbike app and the FrameLock will open automatically.

PAUSE RIDE

Pause your ride without ending the rental. Simply pause your ride in the app and close the lock. The rental stays active during the pause and will be charged as usual.

RETURN

Return your bike at an official station and press the FrameLock lever down to lock the bike. If you return your bike away from a station, a service fee of at least €20 will be charged.

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.

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.
