These term and conditions constitute the agreement between Sharebike and you. In addition there might be separate user agreement per each city, where a third party is operating the bike sharing towards then end users - and with Sharebike acting as a vendor to the operator.

Do not leave the bike to others. You are responsible if you injure yourself or others while using the bicycle.
    • You must show consideration for other people on the road and comply with traffic rules.
    • Defect or damaged bike. The bikes are put out in good condition and continuously inspected and repaired. However, you may find a defect bike. You are therefore responsible for checking that the bike is in good condition before it is used. Brakes must be checked immediately after you have started the rent..
    • Notification of defect or damaged bike. You must immediately report via the app if you discover major damage or defects on the bike. If you have reported a defect bicycle and terminated the rent or put it back in the bike station within 5 minutes of taking it out, you will be refunded the price.
    • Locking the bike. If you leave the bike during the rental period, e.g. if you are going to the store or visiting a tourist attraction, you need to make sure that it is securely locked with the integrated locking function.
    • Lost bike. You must immediately report in the app if the bike is lost. If the bike is not properly locked when you leave it, you are liable for damages if the bike is lost.

 

  1. End the trip
    • Ending the rental period. At the end of the rental period, you must return the bike to one of Sharebike's parkering areas or charging stations. The rental period ends when the bike is locked and terminated in the App or the bike is placed correctly into the station.. You will receive confirmation in the app that the bike has been delivered and the rental period has ended.
    • Problems with termination. If you have problems terminating the rental in the way mentioned above, you must immediately notify Sharebike via the app.
    • Confirmation of the rental. If you have not terminated the rental correctly within 12 hours from the start of the rental period, Sharebike can contact you at any time to check if you still want further to continue the rental.
    • Sharebike's termination of the rental. Sharebike may terminate the rental period at any time, if we have reason to believe that you no longer wish to rent even though the tenancy has not been terminated correctly, or we have reasonable grounds to believe that you do not take sufficient care of the bike. In such cases, Sharebike may charge you a fee of up to NOK 2,500 if the bicycle must be picked up at a place other than Sharebike's parking zones and stations. You can find Sharebike parking zones and carging stations in the map view of the app
