PubliBike Velospot’s bike-sharing service

Using PubliBike Velospot with the BaselCard 

In Basel and the Hochrhein region, there are almost 300 stations with over 1,200 bicycles and e-bikes from PubliBike Velospot available to you. This also includes stations in Germany. The bikes can be hired round the clock via the app and returned to the stations. To activate the special rate, enter your 21-digit guest card number when registering in the app. If you already have an account, you can also enter the number after logging into the app under ‘Subscriptions & Passes’. 

Your benefit with the BaselCard: for 30 days from activation, you’ll enjoy a special rate on every ride. Every bike ride lasting up to 60 minutes is free; every e-bike ride lasting 60 minutes costs CHF 2. If a ride lasts longer than an hour, the bike costs CHF 0.10 per minute and the e-bike CHF 0.20 per minute. You can use the service as often as you like each day. The only condition is that you return the bike to a station marked in the app after each journey before starting a new one. 
  

Here’s how it works: 

1.     Download the ‘PubliBike Velospot’ app. 

2.     When registering, enter the 21-digit guest card number from your BaselCard as the promo code. 

3.     Complete the registration by providing your telephone number and adding a payment method. 

4.     The activated tariff can then be viewed under ‘Subscriptions & Passes’. 

5.     Hire a bike or e-bike from a station and return it to any PubliBike Velospot station. 

Do you already have an account? If so, you can enter your 21-digit guest card number in the ‘Promo code’ field under ‘Subscriptions & Passes’ in the app to activate the special tariff. 
  

Good to know: Families should register individually in the app and enter their own guest card number so that everyone can benefit from the special rate. Minors require the consent of their legal guardian. Young people aged between 14 and 15 require a valid Category M driving licence to use the e-bikes. You can find the detailed tariff conditions in the app under ‘Subscriptions & Passes’ once you have activated the service. The General Terms and Conditions of PubliBike AG apply.
