The app won’t let me end my ride?

Sometimes, the bike won’t connect when you’re trying to end a ride. In most cases, the reason for the problem lays in connection issues or bad reception/signal. To make it work, it’s usually enough to:
• Make sure that you’re standing right next to the bike;
• Move the bike around a bit and give it another go;
• Reboot the app;
• Turn your Bluetooth off and on again;
• Make sure that your app is updated (yes, sometimes it’s the cause of problems with ending a ride!).
If none of these hacks work, contact our support. We’ll end the ride for you! ❤️

Right now, there is no option in the app to rent multiple bikes using one Guestbike account. Each person needs to have a registered profile in order to unlock a bike. Although, it is not forbidden to use the same payment method for more than one app.
Important: We strongly advise to share payment information only with people you trust. In the future, we plan to have the option for you to rent 3 bikes on one account so the whole family can cruise with ease.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our bikes are a far superior way to get around in cities and towns than cars and other carbon emitting vehicles. We use the same type of batteries that Tesla and other electric car makers use: lithium-ion batteries. Lithium harms the environment far less than nickel or lead batteries do. And they last much longer. Lithium-ion battery recycling is also far friendlier to the environment.

Bikes have to be parked within parking zone represented in the Guestbike map as a red geofence.

Sometimes, the bike won’t connect when you’re trying to end a ride. In most cases, the reason for the problem lays in connection issues or bad reception/signal. To make it work, it’s usually enough to:

• Make sure that you’re standing right next to the bike;
• Move the bike around a couple meters and give it another go;
• Reboot the app;
• Turn your Bluetooth off and on again;

Ending the ride outside of the parking zone may result in a penalty fee.
If you’re having problems, don’t worry! Tell us the bike number (located under the QR code) and give us a brief description of what happened. Magic agents are waiting to help you. Help@guestbike.com

Sometimes, bikes hide some 50-100 meters from the map location. GPS signals aren’t super exact. Have another look around. Somebody might have tried to ride it without unlocking it. Or even stored it inside a building. If you really can’t find it, please mark it as missing in the app and locate another bike.  

Contact support and tell us what happened. Your safety is our number one priority, and we want all bikes and riders to be in excellent condition.

You are not legally required to wear a helmet, but all smart people do it anyway. Here is the math. A helmet makes you look awesome because it shows that you are smart.

Guestbike loves roaming free. So please don’t bring them inside. The whole idea of Guestbike is to share it with your friends, so it’s not very friendly to keep it all for yourself.
 

If a bike slowed down and stopped during the ride, it’s most likely because it ran out of battery. Our best advice for you here is to check the battery level before you start a long ride (planning is always a good solution!).

You can check the battery level by turning on the LCD control pad on the handelbars So, if a bike has less than 3 bars on the LED screen and you’re planning a long adventure, try looking for a bike with a full 5 bars.

Solution: Bring bike back to a parking area to end the ride and locate another bike with a full battery.

The current rate in Åre Sweden is 2.5kr/min (150kr/hour).
