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.

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.

Please report failed returns immediately to our customer service via app support or the hotline and have the bike number, the parking location and the actual use time ready. Our customer service can be contacted via app under support or via the hotline stated in the footer of the system’s website.

If you return your bike away from a station, we reserve the right to charge a service fee or incur a penalty in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

The bikes can be returned at official TUeBICI stations only. On the location map in your app you can easily see where the next station is.
