Self-service Le Vélo incorporates innovations for more connected use.
Use your TBM card with Le Vélo |
When you pick up for the first time, remember to activate your card at the station so that you can use the service with your TBM card! To do this, please have your "Le Vélo" customer number ready.
You can then freely use your TBM card at the station to pick up a bike. When you scan it at the terminal, leave it in place for 2 to 3 seconds so that it is detected.
Picking up and hanging up your bike 🚲 |
To unhook your bike: Once you've validated the bike you want to borrow from the terminal, all you have to do is press the button on the terminal it's attached to and you're ready to go!
To hang up: Go to a free terminal and insert the bike. Once the LED has stopped flashing and a beep has sounded: the bike has been hung up!
