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 e-bike at any RVK eBike or RVK e-Bike station. Push it in the dock for recharging (if available) and close the lock by pressing down the lever. If you return your bike outside of a station, a service fee of at least 20 € will be charged.

Our tariffs

Up to four bikes can be rented at the same time on one account. The monthly subscription and special conditions usually only apply to the first bike. Rentals between 5pm and 8am the following day are charged at a flat rate of €3.

Works wonderfully. Parking Mode during a ride is also no problem. I've had different experiences with other providers.

The unrestricted mobility in the city is great. You always have a connection to the train or bus for the last few metres.
