New bikes and expanded Flexzone
The new system doubles the number of bicycles to 1000, improving bike availability. They now have 7 gears to make cycling uphill and downhill much easier.
As before, the new MOBIbikes have a frame lock that opens automatically when rented, and needs to be locked manually every time you return or park it. Many of the MOBIpunkt stations will have bike stands with an integrated lock. For more information on using the bikes visit www.nextbike.de.
You can return bikes in the Flexzone shown in pink on the map for an additional charge of € 1.00. You can return the bikes free of charge in the streets marked in blue and at the MOBIpunkt stations. When you return your bike to a MOBIpunkt station, you get 10 minutes rental credit as a thank you. If you use the app, you will be notified of the credit you receive. You can use the time credit anywhere in Germany.
How to use it:
By the way, you can rent up to four bikes at the same time on one account. However, special rates and vouchers generally only apply for the first bike. Besides the MOBIbikes in Dresden, you can rent bikes in (almost) all nextbike-run systems in over 25 countries around the world.
