Yes, you can.

You can activate the park mode in the app and then close the lock (attention: If you close the lock before the park mode has been activated, the bike will be returned immediately). To continue cycling, end the park mode in the app and the lock will open automatically. Never end the park mode from afar as the lock will open and you won't be able to close it. Others are then able to use this bike while it's still being rented by you. 

All stations are marked with large markers on the map in the app or on the website (the small markers mark individual bikes).

In some cities there are also station signs, terminals or bicycle stands at the marked places.

A flexzone is a defined area, usually in the city centre, where the bikes can be flexibly returned on any public road. It is colour-coded on the map in the app and on the website. Whether a city has a flex zone can be read on the respective website of the system. If you don't know the system's website, please use the location search.

Please always return your bike so that it is clearly visible to other users, does not obstruct anyone and keeps paths and exits clear. Parking on private grounds, in green areas or in backyards is generally prohibited. Please lock the bike to itself and do not use public bicycle racks or the like. 

The bike can only be returned in the city where you rented it, otherwise a return fee applies. 

 As a general rule, nobody should be hindered by the bike.

Please note the following:
The bike may not be parked or returned:
a) at traffic lights
(b) parking ticket machines or parking meters
(c) at road signs
d) on sidewalks, if this results in a passage width of less than 1.50 m
(e) in front of, at and on escape routes and firefighter access zones
(f) where this conceals the stationary advertising of a third party
(g) by locking to fences of private or public houses and establishments
(h) on public transport platforms and bus platforms
(i) at public bicycle racks

In case of contravention we reserve the right to charge a service fee.

This applies to the MVG-Rad Munich, VAG_Rad Nuremberg, Mol Bubi Budapest / Hungary, Sitycleta / Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Bilbaobizi in Bilbao / Spain. In some systems, bikes can be rented without re-registration, but only via the local app. This applies to Veturilo Warsaw / Poland and VAG_Rad Nuremberg, among others.

You can rent up to four bikes at a time using one customer account. Booked tariffs and special conditions usually only apply to the first bike. 

Defects can easily be reported to our customer service via the feedback function of the app, hotline or e-mail. Please check the bike for obvious defects before starting your journey or before renting it and inform us of any damage so that the bikes can be locked and repaired as quickly as possible. If you went off with a bike and only then notice a defect, end your ride and call our service. Only then can we cancel the ride and register the bike for repair.

Unfortunately, we cannot refund any fees if you have continued using the bike despite obvious defects.

The free minutes are normally only valid for the first bike if several bikes are rented at the same time. The area of validity of the tariffs may vary. The annual and monthly rate is usually only valid in the city in which it was booked. Prices, area of validity and information about the possible automatic extension of the tariffs can be found on the respective website of the system. If you don't know the system's website, please use the location search.

Tariffs that don't prolongue automatically do not have to be cancelled. Tariffs with automatic renewal can be cancelled in due course by app or email.

Unless otherwise stated, special conditions through partner cooperations apply only in the respective city or in the respective network system. Furthermore, the discount only applies to the first bike if several bikes are rented in parallel.
