How it works

westBike has both standard bikes and e-bikes ready for you. Use the filter icon in the app to filter for a specific bike type. Please note that e-bikes can only be returned to e-bike stations.

Graphical representation: Bike rental is initiated via the nextbike app, which unlocks the frame lock on the bike.

REGISTRATION

Registration is free of charge. In order to verify your account, a €1 deposit is required and will become rental credit to use later on.

RENTAL

Simply scan the QR Code on the bike with the nextbike app and the FrameLock will open automatically.

PAUSE RIDE

Pause your ride without ending the rental. Simply pause your ride in the app and close the lock. The rental stays active during the pause and will be charged as usual.

RETURN

Return your bike at an official westBike-station in the district of Heinsberg and press the FrameLock lever down to lock the bike. If you return your bike outside of an station, a service fee of at least €20 will be charged.

Works wonderfully. Parking Mode during a ride is also no problem. I've had different experiences with other providers.

I discovered the app when I moved from the country to the city for my studies and couldn't take my bike with me. It's quick and easy, even better than I thought. Great idea!
