The electrically assisted rental bikes offer an environmentally friendly and flexible way to get around the city.

Please be considerate when parking e-bikes
The city administration urges all users to be considerate of their surroundings when parking their bicycles. Sidewalks, pedestrian zones, entrances, and narrow passages should be kept clear to avoid obstructing other road users.
Reports of improperly parked e-bikes – for example, on sidewalks or in private driveways – can be forwarded directly to the city administration. They will promptly find a solution to ensure order and safety in public spaces

The e-bike project is continuously evaluated and will adapted to the needs of the city's residents . The goal is to create an effective and climate-friendly mobility alternative in the long term – especially for shorter journeys within the city.
