Where does FREENOW offer bikes for rent?
We offer eBikes in London city. To find a bike, open the app (2-wheels) and explore your zone. All the eBikes close by will be shown as bike icons. If you cannot see anyone, zoom out on the map to search a wider area.
When selecting a bike, its location, prices and battery percentage will be displayed.
Why does my bike slow down?
If your bike has automatically slowed down during a ride in progress, this could be due to 3 different reasons:
- You have entered a speed limit zone: Go-Slow Zones (yellow zones)- To comply with local regulations, in these areas, your bike's speed is automatically limited. Once you leave the Go-Slow Zone your bike should be able to travel at the normal top speed.
- The bike's battery level is low - If the vehicle has a low battery, it will start to gradually slow down until it stops. Remember to always check the energy level of the vehicle before renting it.
- You've gone outside the service area - All areas on the map marked in grey are 'No service area'. Any bike use is not permitted at all in these zones. If you do not return to the allowed operation, the vehicle will slow down gradually until it stops completely. You may also have problems ending your ride on the app.
