This applies to the MVG-Rad Munich, VAG_Rad Nuremberg, Mol Bubi Budapest / Hungary, Sitycleta / Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Bilbaobizi in Bilbao / Spain. In some systems, bikes can be rented without re-registration, but only via the local app. This applies to Veturilo Warsaw / Poland, among others.

Defects can easily be reported via the support function in our app. Please check the bike for obvious defects before starting your journey or before renting it and inform us of any damage so that the bikes can be locked and repaired as quickly as possible. If you went off with a bike and only then notice a defect, end your ride and call our service. Only then can we cancel the ride and register the bike for repair.

Unfortunately, we cannot refund any fees if you have continued using the bike despite obvious defects.

A service fee of at least 200 SEK will be charged if a bike is returned outside a Styr & Ställ station. It does not matter if the bike has already been rented off a station. The service fee of the predecessor does not cover the misconduct of the next user.

If the station does not have fixed bicycle racks, the bike will be locked to itself.

As a general rule, nobody should be hindered by the parked bike.

Please note the following:

The bike may not be parked or returned:
a) at traffic lights
b) parking ticket machines or parking meters
c) at road signs
d) on sidewalks, if this results in a passage width of less than 1.50 m
e) in front of, at and on escape routes and firefighter access zones
f) where this conceals the stationary advertising of a third party
g) by locking to fences of private or public houses and establishments
h) on public transport platforms and bus platforms
i) at public bicycle racks

In case of contravention we reserve the right to charge a service fee.
