The paying period is the time between the time you took and returned a bicycle to the bike station. The maximum time for which you can take a bicycle is two days. A fine of 30 thousand rubles will be written off your bank card after 48 hours of a start of the bikesharing. If you are going to take a bicycle for a longer time, consider a daily rental in private rental firms.

Always. The rental time begins when you unlock the bike, and ends when you return the bike to the station. If the bicycle is improperly installed in the dock, the bicycle lock will not close and the rental time will not end. When you park a bicycle to the dock, wait for the "Return OK" sign on the bicycle handlebars ("КОНЕЦ" for electric bike) and push confirmation from Velobike that the rental is over. This is the confirmation that the system has accepted your bike.

This might happen on the weekends and during rush hours. Look at the map to see which nearby stations have free bikes or docks. The map is always at hand on the site, in the app for iPhone and Android. You may also wait for a few minutes as someone will ride to the station and park their bike so you can start using it. Or someone might take a bike so you can park yours instead to an empty dock. It is better to check beforehand if there are free bikes or docks at the station you are planning to go to.

The bikesharing station did not accept your bike and therefore the bikesharing session was not finished. To avoid this always wait for a sign "Return OK" ("КОНЕЦ" for electric bike) and push confirmation when parking the bike in the dock at the station.

Check if the bike stands flat and is inserted to the dock correctly as the bikes nearby. If it does not help try to park your bike to an other free dock closer to the terminal. If it does not work out, please proceed to another nearest bikesharing station. If this still does not work, call Velobike support: +7 8152 632-4-6-9
