When you begin renting, you will be added to a personal Whatsapp group where you can contact our customer service staff with any questions you have and make appointments for maintenance or bike return. Customer service is open Monday-Friday 10am to 5pm.

What happens if I am in an accident when using the bike?

If the bike gets damaged in an accident, the first thing to do is make sure you and anyone else involved are uninjured. If that is the case, get the contact details and vehicle registration plate of any parties that were involved, and take plenty of photos (before any vehicles or bikes are moved). We have found in most cases that drivers are willing to pay for the damage, rather than get insurance companies involved. Notify Rybit as soon as possible and book an appointment for a bike check up. You will need to pay for the damage, but we can provide invoices so that you can claim this from the other party/their insurance company.

What happens if my bike needs maintenance?

General maintenance is free of charge. This covers issues that arise from general riding. The bike should be brought to Rybit site for maintenance check up at least once per month, but if maintenance is required in between check ups, then you may make an appointment via our website.
