About this app

With Call a Bike, you are spontaneously and flexibly mobile around the clock. Whether you're on your way to work, after work or on a city trip, with Call a Bike you can rent a bike at any time and anywhere in Germany.

A total of 13,000 bikes are available in over 80 cities. You can also use the app to hire a bike from StadtRAD Hamburg and Lüneburg as well as RegioRadStuttgart.

All bikes are displayed on an interactive map in the app. You can rent them using the QR code or by entering the bike number.

You can pause your journey: simply activate it in the app and close the bike lock.

To return the bike, take it to one of the Call a Bike stations that you can find on the interactive map in the app.

Ratings and reviews

The bikes are great, but customer service is absolutely terrible. The app failed to charge me appropriately and I received no notifications in English despite having English as my preferred language on my account. In addition, they provide no way to actually pay the outstanding invoice. It's good to see at least one service in Germany bucks the stereotype of efficiency.

doesn't work with a US phone number 😞 thanks for the response. tried registering 10 times. read the reviews and everyone says you need a European phone number. it's a bummer because this is cheap and it out all the bike rental places out of business but foreigners can't use it.

1 Euro unlock fee. if you do not return it to a station it is at least 10 euros penalty. compared to nextbike with no unlock fee and flexible return (meaning you do not need to return the bike to a station) for 1 euro instead of 10 this is utterly ridiculous. Avoid!

What’s new

We have improved the following for you:

- Better overview: Selected stations and bikes are displayed more clearly. You can scan the QR code of a bike directly or jump into a navigation app.
- Simply scan the code on the bike to end an ongoing pause directly.
- Bug fixes: Stations are displayed more reliably on the map, fixed display of OpenStreetMap.
