About this app

Rekola: move quickly around the city on a shared bike

Rent a pink bike anytime you want. Ride for as long as you need. Then lock it anywhere within the designated area for the next rider. This is proper bikesharing!

How can I rent a bike?
You can easily register just on the street or you can use the account you already created in the past. To start a ride, scan a QR code on the basket of the bike and you will get the combination for the lock. Please put the lock to the handlebars so it won’t get stuck in your bike’s wheel. And now you are ready to go!

How much does it cost?
It depends on the city – prices start around 1 EUR per ride. You can get unlimited number of rides up to 30 minutes with Rekola subscription. In Czech cities you have first rides up to 15 min covered by Hello bank!. The app will always show you the current price. Or just take a look at www.rekola.cz/en for the pricing.

Where and when is possible to rent a bike? And how can I return it?
You can rent Rekola bikes 24/7. Simply pick the bike on the street, unlock it via the app and ride. During your rental, you can bike and park in bike racks anywhere in the city. When ending your rental, the bike must be locked and returned within the pink area (the zone) shown in map.

Ratings and reviews

Latest update on a Samsung galaxy s20, android 11: Can't localize gps, it doesn't recognize the location and I can't do it manually. Sometimes the button that allows me to localize the bike, it disappear. Can't get pictures cause it takes time to access the camera. App super slow compared to the previous version which was fast and simple but mostly, working.

The app is not super smooth or nice but it at least works pretty reliably from my experience. My main complaint is that the max height of the bike seat is wayyyy too low. It's like they never anticipated that people over 180cm tall would ride their bikes. I really have no explanation as to how a bike sharing company could have overlooked a feature as important and as blatantly obvious as this. Increased bike maintenance and bikes with more speeds would also be a welcome (and needed) improvement.

Even if the bike never unlocks, you will be charged anyway. When attempting to return the bike it repeats to say that you must press on the lock even.when you do it with all your might and move the wheel back and forth. The QR code reader is also awkward. Takes a long time to start and most of the view is covered by white overlay even what it actually scans there.

What's new
