Electrical bike sharing in Las Palmas

In this article I explained the yellow shared bikes from Sitycleta. But now there are also green bikes available! The green bikes are electric shared bikes and work the same as the normal yellow bikes. Except that they are a bit more expensive to rent, ofcourse.

Renting a bike with Sitycleta is easy:

  1. Register via their website or directly via the app in the Google Playstore or Apple App Store (you’ll need this app to rent a bike)
  2. Check your nearest electric bike station and bike availability. You can recogize the stations for electric bikes by the green lightning strike.
  3. Take a bicycle, scan the QR code with the app OR type in the code from the bicycle
  4. You’ll receive a 4 digit code in the app
  5. Enter this 4 digit code in the bicycle lock
  6. And go!

To return your bike:

  1. Check your nearest station to see if there’s a free spot for your bike
  2. Press OK on the BikeComputer and close the fork lock.
  3. Wait for the confirmation and you’re ready!

If you have a Sitycleta subscription, the first 30 minutes of renting the electric bike is free. Every additional 30 minutes costs €2,50.

If you don’t have a Sitycleta subscription, you’ll simply pay €2,50 for every 30 minutes you are using the electric bike.

The (yellow) bike rental systems works on a subscription base:

€15 per WEEK The first 30 minutes are free of charge. You’ll pay €0,50 for every extra 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. If you exceed these two hours, you pay €0,75 for every extra 30 minutes.

€20 per MONTH The first 30 minutes are free of charge. You’ll pay €0,50 for every extra 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. If you exceed these two hours, you pay €0,75 for every extra 30 minutes.

€40 per YEAR The first 30 minutes are free of charge. You’ll pay €0,50 for every extra 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. If you exceed these two hours, you pay €0,75 for every extra 30 minutes.

One more thing: riding a bicycle is NOT allowed on Paseo de Las Canteras (the boulevard next to the beach). You’re only allowed on the paseo with a bicycle between 1AM and 8AM. After all, the paseo is to pasear (to stroll, to take a walk)
