FAQ

Can I take a break in my ride and leave a bike for several minutes?

Of course, however common sense is key in each such situation. Do not leave the bike in remote places or “risky” ones and secure it with a belt or with a digital lock, connecting it to a fixed, solid element and you may be sure nothing will happen to it. Be sure that no other person will be able to use your bike-secured for a moment, with a digital lock-or rent it via mobile application or QR code, since the bike will be visible in the system as rented

Is the use of internet service, especially while logging and making payments safe?

The login sites, registration site and “My account” are coded via SSL, which is visible through the link upon entering each of these sites. Websites which launch Nextbike API application are additionally encoded but they function in the iframe mode thus it is not visible within the address tab. Moreover, encoding of the entire service is switched on and set as default. We thus guarantee that the use of our website is 100% safe at each stage

How many bikes can I rent?

You can rent a maximum of 4 bikes at once on one account. For each bike separately the system calculates the rental time, thus you do not need to return them all at the same time. In case of non-standard rentals, i.e. Group rentals, please contact us on the email address: [email protected].

If I am registered in one system only, can I use bikes in other cities?

Our systems are compatible, registering in one of them enables bike rentals in all cities in Poland and worldwide where Nextbike is the Operator. It is worth to remember that each of the systems is characterized by its own price list and Terms of Service

In case when the return of your bike is not possible through electric lock (i.e. closed station or lack of free bike stand) secure the bike with the clamp. Open the clamp with a code obtained upon rental, connect the bike with another bike’s handle or with a fixed element of the station. Then, lock the clamp and shuffle the digits. Remember that a bike returned in such a way must be returned within the system also. In order to do so, approach the terminal and press “Rent/Return”.
