How to get rolling
Your Questions,
Our Answers.
Where can I find the vehicles?
Vehicles are displayed on the Pick-e-Bike map view in the app.
You’ll also see the current zones directly in the app.
- Red vehicles are e-bikes.
- Black vehicles are E-scooter.
- Gold icons = Bonus vehicles (CHF 1 discount on your ride)
Where can I use Pick-e-Bike?
You can leave the parking zone with the vehicle at any time. This means that you are not bound to the parking zone during your ride. However, the return must take place within the parking zone or at a station.
Where can I park the e-bikes?
At the end of your ride, you can park the vehicle within the parking zone or at a station. It’s important to ensure that the vehicles do not obstruct pedestrians or other traffic participants. It’s best to park the E-bike in a bicycle parking area. If the vehicle is parked on the sidewalk, a path at least 1.50 meters wide must be kept clear.
Parking on private property is allowed if the vehicle is accessible and visible to others.
Do not park in front of driveways, in no-parking zones, in parks, pedestrian areas, in front of shop windows, or in courtyards.
Incorrectly parked vehicles will be moved by our team, and the handling fee will be charged to the last renter.
At the end of the ride, the app will prompt you to take a photo of the parked vehicle.
This protects you from unjustified fines or fees.
How much does it cost?
At Pick-e-Bike, you only pay for the time you use the vehicle – there’s no subscription required.
Each ride includes a CHF 1 activation fee (Basel region only).
You’ll find the current rates and offers in the app.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
Yes! When you’re riding a Pick-e-Bike vehicle, you must always wear a helmet (even in the 25km/h speed setting). A passenger on the E-scooter also needs a helmet.
You’ll find a suitable helmet in every basket of an e-bike. For the E-scooter, you’ll find two helmets in the helmet box.
How can I adjust the saddle height on the E-bike?
There’s a quick-release lever under the seat that lets you easily adjust the saddle height.
How fast do the vehicles go?
E-bike
The e-bikes are S-Pedelecs, which have pedal assistance up to 45 km/h.
Since August 2024, Pick-e-Bike has been operating a unique pilot project in Switzerland called Speed-Setting in collaboration with the Federal Office of Transport (ASTRA). Speed-Setting allows Pick-e-Bike’s e-bikes to be flexibly classified into two different vehicle categories – depending on who is currently renting the E-bike.
If you’ve registered with your ID or passport, you can use the e-bikes at a speed of up to 25km/h.
If you’ve registered with a driver’s license, you can use the e-bikes at a speed of 35km/h.
If you want to use the E-bike at 45km/h, you can purchase the Speed-Upgrade monthly or annually directly in the app under “Subscriptions”.
E-scooter
The E-scooter travel at 45 km/h.
What is the battery range?
E-bike
The range of an e-bike with a fully charged battery is about 70 km. Please note that this is only an estimate and depends on various factors.
E-scooter
The range of an e-scooter with fully charged batteries is about 100 km. Please note that this is only an estimate and depends on various factors.
You can see the estimated range in the app before starting your ride.
