Register, rent, ride & return with the nextbike app

We are Co Bikes, Exeter’s on demand electric bike scheme.

Because our bikes are electrically assisted, they make cycling a breeze – even uphill!

Here’s how it works

1. Register

To use Co Bikes, register via the nextbike app. By joining, you will also be able to rent bikes in every nextbike city worldwide.

2. Rental

Open the nextbike app and scan the QR code on the bike or enter the bike number. The lock will open automatically.

3. Parking

If you want to pause your journey, first select ‘PARK’ in the app and then lock the bike by pressing down the lever on the frame. Your rental will continue whilst the bike is in park mode. To continue your journey, select ‘OPEN LOCK’ in the app and the lock will open automatically.

4. Return

To end your rental, return the bike to any Co Bikes station. For docked stations, push the bike into a free dock, check it is secure, select ‘RETURN NOW’ in the app and lock it by pressing down the lever on the frame. For dockless stations, make sure the bike is within the station zone and lock it by pressing down the lever on the frame. Refresh the app to confirm that your rental has ended.
