Check and select your Valenbisi: Before taking a bike, check reviews from previous users on the app or at the station itself. Make sure you check the fit of the saddle, the condition of the pedals and basket, the functioning of the bell, brakes, lights and the condition of the frame and tyres.

To return a Valenbisi bike, you must first choose one of the 276 empty docking stations available at any of the stations. To make sure that the return is done correctly, you must lift the bike by the saddle and place it in the anchor all the way. If it has been returned correctly, you will hear a double beep. If you don't hear it, check that the bike is correctly positioned and verify that the return has been made correctly via the mobile app. It is important to return the bike properly, otherwise you will be charged for the time of use.
