FAQs

What happens if the bike is damaged or stolen?

If that happens, let us know as soon as possible so we can do what we can to help. Your own contents insurance will often cover theft and damage of a hire bike- check the terms and conditions with your insurer. If you accepted our insurance ($5p/week), you’re covered for theft, but you're responsible for damage. The excess you need to pay is $500. There are some conditions, in particular, the bike is locked with the folding lock that we give you and it is kept locked inside overnight. The excess you need to pay is $500.

Do the bikes need to be charged?

Yes, it’s super easy. Just plug it in like your phone. The bikes come with a charger. If you don’t have a power-point where your bike is being parked you can remove the battery and bring it inside to charge. Handy huh?

How Payment Works

Upon booking

When you book, you pay the first 4 weeks bike hire in advance or you can choose to pay for the minimum 12 weeks of rental - there are no fees when paying this way. This payment is fully refundable for any reason until you take the bike away.

Recurring Card Payment

For future payments we automatically charge your card that is stored in our system every 4 weeks - this is our standard method. We pass on the processing fees of 2.9% + 30c.

Bank transfer or in-store by eftpos

Alternatively, you can pay upfront by eftpos when you pick up the bike or make recurring payments by bank transfer.

What if I don't want it anymore and I decide to cancel?

Our program requires a minimum commitment of 12 weeks for this $70p/week option or 4 weeks for the $90p/week option.  If you selected the 12-week option and need to cancel, you can swap to the 4-week minimum option and pay the difference.

Will I be stranded if my battery runs out?

Nope, you can always pedal it like a regular bike! Plus, the battery life is surprisingly good and there are charge level indicators. It’s unlikely to be an issue unless you are doing really big rides or several large Wellington hills in a single session. Most riders can ride at least 60km before needing to charge.

Do I need insurance?

Yes. Often your own contents insurance will cover the bike. If this isn’t the case for you, we do have theft insurance available for $5 p/week - you're still responsible for damage. To be covered the bike must be locked with the lock we give you and kept inside overnight. The excess you need to pay if using our insurance is $500.

I want to swap my bike for a different now one is that ok?

Yes, it is. Each rider can swap once for free and after that for $50 each swap. We usually need to do some preparation to swap a bike, so give us a call to arrange it beforehand. If you’ve already swapped once and would like to swap again but aren’t sure if you’ll like the new bike, you can do a free test ride before committing.

Flat tire or some other issue and I'm stuck on the side of the road. What do I do?

Firstly, we make sure all our bikes have great tires for this exact reason. It makes punctures rare. Secondly, don’t panic. Give us a call. If you’re in Wellington City or Lower Hutt - and you can’t get the bike to our workshop we can come to do a mobile repair, usually we can be there the same day. If you’re on the road and can’t move the bike, call us, then you can lock the bike up and take a taxi, then we’ll collect the bike as soon as we’re able. This isn’t a 24hr service, but please still contact us out of hours and we’ll work out a solution together!

You said there was a minimum commitment of 12 weeks but that's too much for me. Is that the only option?

We can also do 4 weeks minimum period. Select the 4-week product instead.
