Start a trip
ECOBICI is ideal for journeys in combination with other modes of transport. When you start your trip, use the map in the app to find the nearest cycle station. Once in front of her, choose a bicycle, to free it there are three ways:
1. With MI Card – If you have your card linked to your account, you just have to approach it from the right side of the anchorage, in a few seconds the system reads it and releases the bike.
2. With QR Code – The ECOBICI have a QR code on the handlebars. With the app, in the “scan to unlock” option you can read that code and take the bike.
3. With the bike ID – On the rear tire of the ECOBICI there is a number, this is its ID, with it you can also release it. You only need to enter the app, in the “scan to unlock” option, select “Enter the bike ID”, enter the corresponding number and that’s it!
The end of the trip
At the end of your tour, you must return the bicycle to the nearest bicycle station. The return process is very easy and is as follows:
1. In an available port on the bike station, center the front triangle and push the bike in until you are sure it has entered correctly.
2. A green light will illuminate and an alert will sound indicating that the return was successful. If you activated the notifications of the app, one will inform you when your trip is closed.
3. Be careful, if a red light comes on, the bicycle has not been anchored correctly. Try again until you see the green light and confirm that the bike does not release.
