How it works

The electric bikes of BiciMAD are extremely easy to use. Once you have the card, you just go to the closest station, choose a bike with a green light (available), and approach your card until you hear a sound and it will be free.

Afterwards, you must place it back at any station.

Useful information

Make sure that the bicycle is well placed when you leave it, so as not to pay extra. If it is correctly placed the base will go green and you will hear a noise.

Bikes with the seat turned the wrong way around mean that they don’t work correctly (it is done by other users as a sign).
