Instructions for renting a bike

At the Kras Brkini Bikes stop, choose the bike you want to rent.
Before renting, please check that the bike is in good condition.
Go to the computer terminal (kiosk) with the LCD screen and press on the screen to start. Select your language and follow the on-screen instructions. The system can only be used with the "Kras Brkini Bikes" user card or with a username and password or the Mobiln.si mobile app.
To log in to the system, please place your "Kras Brkini Bikes" card on the screen.
Enter your PIN code (the four-digit number that came with your card) and confirm. If you do not have this card, enter your username and password.
Follow the on-screen instructions to rent bikes or other services.
If you decide to rent a bike, wait for the system to check all the locks and tell you which bikes are available. It will give you numbers from 1 to 10, which represent the lock numbers. The number of locks in the station and therefore the number offered on the screen can vary.
Once you have selected one of the wheels, wait for the system to process your selection and confirm it.
Once confirmed, you have 20 seconds to walk up to the lock containing the selected bike and press the silver button, which will flash green, to unlock the lock.
After pressing the button, grasp the bike by the seat with one hand and the handlebars with the other hand; in one movement, push the bike forward slightly first and then pull the bike backwards to remove it from the lock.
If for any reason you are unable to remove the bike from the lock, push the bike firmly back into the lock to make sure it is locked and repeat the rental process from the beginning.
Once you have successfully rented and completed the ride, simply push the bike back into the lock, only harder, to lock it. Always be sure to check that the bike is actually locked before you leave. If you have successfully locked the bike, the button on the lock will light up blue.
If the button on the lock is red, this is a warning that you have not inserted the bike correctly and you must repeat the return procedure.
Until you return the wheel, the credits (minutes) available in your package will be counted down.
If all locks are occupied when you arrive or there are no free bikes at the station, please wait until the maintenance service arrives or go to the next station.
In case of technical problems or system malfunction, please call the number displayed on each station.
