How to Rent a Seoul Bike

Seoul Bike is a perfect example of why this website exists. It is surprisingly difficult to rent a Seoul Bike.

First Visit Seoul Bike’s Website and click OK to the notice.
Choose your voucher type (1 Hour, 2 Hour or Day Pass)
Select Credit Card as method of payment and click “I agree to all items” to agree to the terms and conditions.
Click “Make Payment” and you will be presented with a credit card payment processing pop up window. Agree to all terms and click “Next”.
Enter your credit card information and email.
Once your transaction has been approved, you will get an 8 digit rental number.
Locate the bike you want to rent and press the button below the screen.
Select “Rental Number” option.
Enter the first 4 digits of your 8 digit rental number
Then enter the last 4 digits of your 8 digit rental number (I know, it’s weird).
You can now disconnect the bike from the lock of the docking station and use your bike.

We strongly recommend you check out this video if you have any questions about this process.

How to End Your Rental

To end your trip, find a dock location with an empty spot for your bicycle. Slide the front tire into an open spot and pull the cable lock from the docking station. The cable lock snaps into the bike just to the right of the screen on the bicycle.
