How can we help you?

To rent a bike for a short period with Véligo Location, you can:

either reserve online (subject to availability) using our form

or go directly to one of our permanent Maisons du vélo locations in the Île-de-France region

A staff member will hand you the bike and explain how it works. Short-term bike rentals are ideal for one-time use: a leisurely ride, testing an electric or regular bike, or an occasional trip.

Rates vary depending on the bike model selected and the rental duration. The theft and damage insurance is included in the rental price for all short‑term bike rentals. A security deposit is also required when the bike is picked up.

Short-term rental rates - Standard e-bike

• Half-day rate (4 hours): 20€
• Reduced half-day rate (4 hours): 10€
• Full-day rate: 30€
• Reduced full-day rate: 15€

Short-term rental rates - non-electric bikes

• Half-day rate (4 hours): €7
• Reduced half-day rate (4 hours): €3.50
• Full-day rate: €8
• Reduced full-day rate: €4

Bikes can only be picked up at a permanent Maison du vélo location throughout the Île-de-France region.

When you pick up your bike, an advisor will verify your documents, provide you with your accessories, and explain how to use the bike properly so you can get started quickly and safely.

In the event of a breakdown or technical problem with your bike during your short-term rental, you must return to the Maison du vélo where you picked up the bike.

You can rent up to 5 bikes at a time.

This makes it easy to accommodate group needs: outings with family or friends, or occasional trips with a group.

To rent a bike for a short period, you must present:

• a valid form of identification
• proof of eligibility for a reduced rate, if applicable

These documents allow us to process your rental on-site and ensure that the bike is made available to you.

We offer two types of bikes for short-term rental:

- The classic e-bike, perfect for effortless urban rides

- The traditional bike, ideal for short trips or a bit of exercise

These bikes are designed for easy riding around town and on the bike paths of the Île-de-France region.

In addition to the bike, and for the same rental period, you can rent one or more accessories:

• Adult and children's helmets
• Bike bag
• Child seat
• Minor repair kit (free)

Short-term rentals of Véligo bikes are flexible:

• minimum rental period: 4 hours (half a day)
• maximum rental period: up to 7 consecutive days

This option meets a variety of travel needs, whether for a few hours, a full day, or a long weekend.

As a general rule, the bike must be returned to the Maison du vélo where it was picked up, during business hours, without an appointment.

Yes, you can transport a child using a compatible child seat, which is available as an accessory.

This service allows you to safely adapt your short-term rental for family trips.

You may encounter difficulties during your appointment to pick up or return your bike.

If this concerns an appointment at a rental location or at a Maison du vélo, you can contact our Customer Service Center at 0800.10.20.20, Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Or by email at [email protected].

If this concerns an appointment with our carrier, you can contact our logistics provider directly by phone at 06.12.21.76.57 or 06.12.78.50.80, or by email at [email protected].

When you sign up, if you chose to pick up your bike at one of our rental locations, the process is very simple.

On the day of your selected appointment, be sure to bring your unique pickup code and a form of ID. Without these items, we will not be able to give you your bike.

If you are unable to be present for the pickup or return of your bike, you can grant power of attorney to a trusted person to pick up or return your Véligo on your behalf.

If you are picking up your bike, be sure to provide your ID, your unique pickup code, and your letter of authorization to the trusted person you have chosen.

When your subscription ends, you’ll need to select how you’d like to return your bike:

• At a rental location: You’ll select the date and time slot you’d like to return your bike
• At home: Our carrier will contact you by email and text message to schedule a return appointment. If we don’t hear back from you, we’ll also contact you by phone. This pickup will take place at the address of your choice, such as your home or workplace.

Please note: If you do not return your Véligo on time, we will be required to charge you so that we can retrieve the bike as soon as possible and make it available to new users.

Any return after the rental end date will be subject to penalties:

• For the Classic e-bike: €6 per day between the 1st and 30th day of delay, then €22 per day
• For the Triporteur, Biporteur, and Rallongé models: €11 per day between the 1st and 30th day of delay, then €44 per day

These penalties apply until the bike and accessories are actually returned. After that, the bike will be considered lost or stolen.

For more information on returning your bike, visit: Return my Véligo

Once your subscription has been confirmed, you will receive a unique pickup code via email. Be sure to keep it safe; you will be asked for it on the day you pick up your bike. It allows us to verify your identity and serves as an electronic signature.

This code is also available in your customer account.

Currently, it takes 1 to 2 weeks from the time you sign up until your bike is actually delivered.

Each bike is individually prepared and customized. Our teams are hard at work to get your bike to you as soon as possible.

The user must clean the bike before returning it to us at the end of the rental period. The bike and its accessories must be returned in a condition that is reasonably clean compared to when they were picked up. If this is not the case and certain parts are defective, penalties may be applied upon return of the bike.

At the time of return, a bike return receipt will be issued. Repairs to the bike and accessories will be billed. We will cover repairs resulting from normal wear and tear, while you are responsible for damage, loss, or defects resulting from premature or unusual wear and tear.

For any questions or complaints, please contact our customer service department.

It's very simple! After making a reservation (to pick it up at a rental location or have it delivered), you'll receive your Véligo upon providing a unique code and signing off on the bike's condition. And then, it's up to you to ride!

We will contact them via text message and/or phone so that they can get in touch with you, subject to your consent, as soon as we receive ALL the details specified above.

Once the investigation is complete:

• If the battery is found, your subscription will remain unchanged, payment for the remaining rental months will continue, and you will keep the bike until the original rental end date.
• If the battery is not found, you may cancel your subscription through our services (which will stop any remaining automatic payments and arrange for the return of the bike) OR you may submit a maintenance request using the online form accessible from your customer portal to obtain a new battery (the bike must be returned by the original rental end date). In both cases, you will be responsible for the cost of the battery (€312). Finally, you must explicitly state your preference with our Customer Service Center.

Please note that if you have purchased insurance, the insurer reserves the right not to cover the theft or loss of your battery resulting from this mix-up. However, we encourage you to contact your personal insurance provider to see if they might cover this charge.

Yes, the Île‑de‑France Mobilités app is available and allows you to subscribe directly to the Véligo Location service.

It also helps you plan your trips and choose the most suitable routes for your bike journeys.

During setup, the battery is electronically paired with the bike that was delivered to you. This applies to the following models:

• Standard e-bike
• Long two-wheeled e-bike
• Short electric-assist Biporteur
• Extended electric-assist model
• Electric-assist Triporteur

As a result, your bike will only work with the battery provided upon delivery and will shut off after a few seconds if you use a different battery. Do not accidentally swap your battery with a friend or family member, and do not purchase a battery from a retailer.

If you swap your battery by mistake, the bike on which it was mistakenly installed will be locked.

To unlock it, the subscriber to whom the bike was assigned must reinstall the original battery and then turn on the bike’s display (control screen) twice as follows:

• Turn on the display
• The display will turn off
• Turn the display back on

If this does not resolve the issue, please contact our customer service center at 0800 10 20 20 or via our contact form.

Please verify that this is indeed the battery you were given.

If so, to unlock your bike, you’ll need to reinstall the original battery on the bike assigned to you and then turn on the bike’s display (control screen). If the display turns off, you’ll need to turn it on a second time.

If that doesn’t work, please contact our customer service center at 0 800 10 20 20 or via our contact form.

The current fleet of standard Véligo Location bikes will be gradually replaced over the next few years. The model currently available has the same technical specifications as the future model, and each bike is fully serviced between rentals to ensure that all our customers have a bike that guarantees an excellent user experience.

The new e-bikes are reserved for customers who selected pickup at a Maison du Vélo location when they signed up (while supplies last).

To view the list of Maison du Vélo locations, please check our interactive map.

All repair requests must be submitted through the Véligo Location maintenance department. To submit a maintenance request, log in to your customer account.

Your appointment will take place at the address of your choice. You can reschedule or cancel the service call up to 24 hours before the appointment time (for example, if you have an appointment on Thursday at 10 a.m., you must cancel by Wednesday before 10 a.m.). The service call cannot be canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled time. If you do not show up for the scheduled appointment, the service call will be canceled after a 20-minute wait, and you will be charged a flat fee of €23. You will then need to reschedule an appointment.

DIY repairs or repairs performed outside our network are not permitted and remain the customer’s responsibility. Véligo Location will not cover any repairs performed under these conditions. However, upon recommendation by the maintenance department, you may be advised to visit one of our authorized partners.

See the repair price list

If a quick repair is not possible, we offer a bike replacement under certain conditions specified in Article 7.5 of our Terms of service.

For more information, please contact our Customer Service Center by phone at 09.69.36.96.30, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

• If you have a standard bike:

Your bike comes with an anti-theft chain and a battery lock cylinder. If you lose one of your e-bike keys, you must order a replacement key using the following link: replace my bike key

You will need the number engraved on the key. When placing your order, select the “SOL” key.

If you lose both keys, you must submit a maintenance request through your customer portal to request a replacement of the wheel lock and battery cylinder.

• If you have a cargo bike:

If you lose the keys to your VCAE, a duplicate set of keys can be sent to your home, limited to one replacement per rental. To do this, you must submit a request to our customer service center via the following page: Contact Us

Please note for Sharelock policyholders (“Zen” or “Zen+” plans): If your bike is stolen and not all of the provided keys are returned (2 keys for standard e-bikes and 4 keys for cargo bikes), the insurer reserves the right to deny coverage for your claim.

You will be billed for key duplication according to Appendix 2: Repair and Penalty Fee Schedule in our Terms of Service.

The user may exercise their right of withdrawal within the first 14 days of the rental. In the event of withdrawal within 14 calendar days following the date the bike was delivered, the user will receive a full refund of the payment made (excluding any delivery fees paid for delivery to the address chosen by the user). Subsequent rental months will not be charged.

Please note: The user has 14 days from the date they decide to withdraw to return the bike.

The refund of the first monthly payment and the cancellation of future payments will be processed as soon as the bike is returned.

The refund will be issued via SEPA transfer to the account provided at the time of subscription, no later than fourteen days after the bicycle and accessories are returned. A user who has exercised their right of withdrawal will not be eligible to rent the bicycle a second time.

You may exercise your right of withdrawal:

• by phone at 0 800 10 20 20
• or by email at the following address: [email protected]
• or by filling out the withdrawal form below: Sample Withdrawal Letter
• or with the “Withdraw” button available in the “Account” section of your customer area

If you exercise your right of withdrawal, you must return the bike along with any accessories that may have been rented. More information HERE.

Véligo Location is a public transportation service, and your employer may cover at least 50% of the cost of your pass, just as with the Navigo pass. For example, a monthly VAE Classique pass would cost you €22 (including tax) instead of €44 (including tax). See all our rates. (https://www.veligo-location.fr/nos-tarifs)

Urssaf specifies the terms for reimbursing public transportation costs:

• Employer contribution toward public transportation costs is mandatory.
• The employer (whether in the private or public sector) must cover 50% of the cost of the passes purchased by its employees for the entire journey between their usual residence and their workplace, traveled via public transportation services, even if multiple passes are required to complete this journey (e.g., train + bus). This also applies to public bike-sharing services.
• You can therefore receive reimbursement for both Véligo Location and the Navigo pass if you can demonstrate the need to use your bike to connect to another mode of transportation, such as the RER. Otherwise, you will need to choose between your Navigo reimbursement and your Véligo Location reimbursement.

To receive this reimbursement, submit your Véligo Location order summary to your employer.

The price of your rental depends on the type of bike you choose (standard, folding, mechanical, cargo, or adapted) and the rental duration—whether short-term or long-term.

Discounted rates are available depending on your circumstances: student rates, solidarity rates, or use of a loop-based bike-sharing service certified by Île-de-France Mobilités.

👉 Find all rates and options on our dedicated page.

Third-party payers are permitted for minor/student subscribers and for users who can provide proof of a family relationship (family register, joint bank account, cohabitation). Proof is required in all cases where the bank account information is not in the user’s first and last name.

Without proof, the user must provide bank account information in their own name.

If a single IBAN is used by multiple subscribers, a single monthly direct debit will be processed for all rental agreements.

To rent a Véligo bike, the process varies depending on the type of model you choose.

👉 For standard e-bikes, folding bikes, mechanical bikes, or custom cargo bikes:

• Create an account on Île-de-France Mobilités Connect
• Choose the bike model that suits you
• Select your rental duration and options (accessories, insurance, delivery)
• Submit the required documentation to finalize your subscription
• Once your registration is approved, you’ll receive your bike at the address of your choice or at a rental location

If you prefer, you can also complete your subscription directly at a Maison du vélo, with the help of a mobility advisor.

👉 For adapted models:

• From the bike’s product page, schedule an appointment at a Maison du vélo to undergo a personalized mobility assessment
• Test ride the various adapted models with an occupational therapist to identify the one that best suits your needs
• Once you’ve chosen a model, finalize your subscription at Maison du vélo or later online if you need more time to decide
• Take your bike home immediately or request free home delivery later through your customer account

Discover adapted bikes

When you sign up for a long-term subscription, we accept payment by credit card or check.

Subsequent monthly payments are made via SEPA direct debit; we only accept IBANs from banks domiciled in Europe.

The sign-up process and payment by check can only be completed at Maison du Vélo. Customers must bring the following:

• a valid form of identification valid for the duration of the rental
• proof of address dated within the last 3 months (residence or workplace in the Île-de-France region)
• proof of eligibility for a discount (for eligible individuals)
• bank account information in the subscriber’s full name (except for minors)

How is the first payment calculated?

The first and last invoices are calculated on a pro-rata basis for the number of rental and insurance days, based on the actual period of use. Subsequent monthly payments will be charged on the 2nd of each month. Options (delivery to your address, helmet, training) are paid in a single installment.

Example: My options total €59 (€44/month for rental + €15 for insurance)

I pick up my bike on 01/15/2026, and the last day of January is the 31st. --> 16 days

For my first bill, I will be charged for only 16 days, or €30.46

For my last bill, I will be charged for 15 days (from 01/01/2026 to 15/01/2026), or €28.54.

The user may also cancel their subscription between the 15th and the 30th or 31st calendar day following the date the bike was picked up. If the bike is returned between the 15th and the 30th or 31st calendar day following the date of pickup, the user is only required to pay for the first month of rental. This option is limited to rentals of e-bikes, hybrid e-bikes, and adapted bikes.

Beyond the first 30 or 31 calendar days following the delivery of the bicycle, no refund will be issued if the user returns the bicycle early. The user will be fully liable for the current month and any remaining months, including, where applicable, the rental of accessories and insurance.

The contract may only be terminated after the first 30 or 31 calendar days following the delivery of the bicycle in certain exceptional cases, such as death, moving out of the Île-de-France region, a job transfer outside Île-de-France, job loss, or disability. To do so, you must provide us with supporting documentation for these situations.

Users who have exercised their right to cancel will not be eligible to rent a bike a second time.

You can exercise your right to cancel:

by phone at 0 800 10 20 20 or by email at the following address: [email protected]

If you exercise your right to cancel, you must return the bike along with any accessories that may have been rented. More information HERE.

To meet the different needs of cyclists, we offer four ranges of bicycles:

• electric‑assist bikes (VAE)
• mechanical bikes
• electric‑assist cargo bikes (VCAE)
• adapted bikes, with or without electric assistance

These ranges cover a wide variety of uses: daily commuting, transporting children, carrying loads, or meeting specific mobility needs.

Discover our full range of bikes.

Yes! You can subscribe to the Véligo Location service multiple times, but only to try different models. It is not possible to rent the same model twice: each new subscription must be for a different bike. For adapted models, rental is subject to approval from an occupational therapist.

At the end of your rental, to start a new one, you must have returned the previously rented bike and have no outstanding payments.

You can then log in to your Île-de-France Mobilités Connect account and click on “Renew Subscription.”

To meet the diverse needs of cyclists, we offer four models of electric bikes for rent: a classic model, a two-wheeled cargo bike, a three-wheeled cargo bike, and an extended model. These new electric bikes are a practical alternative to cars for transporting children and/or your everyday items (groceries, sports gear, work supplies, etc.).

Discover our different bike models.

You're really eager to ride your bike for miles—great! However, the service is intended for residents of the Île-de-France region for everyday travel. Bikes must therefore remain within the Île-de-France region, except for folding bikes!

Professional Line

Véligo Location offers a line of electric bikes designed for professionals. Visit our business section to learn more.

Individual Line

We prohibit the use of our consumer-line bikes for professional purposes. When a user signs up, they agree to use the electric bike exclusively as a private individual.

To better regulate the use of our bikes, we monitor the distances traveled and the number of trips made per bike.

We consider traveling more than 600 kilometers over a 15-day period to constitute intensive use of the Véligo, which is incompatible with the intended use as outlined in the terms of service. For the same reason, the number of trips is limited to 10 per day, with an average of 5 km per trip.

Bicycle use is considered professional if we observe any of the following situations:

• Exceeding the maximum distance limit (i.e., 600 km per 15-day period)
• Completing more than ten (10) trips per day, AND an average of less than five (5) km per trip, AND using the Véligo more than five (5) days per week

In the above cases, we reserve the right to disable the electric assist and immediately terminate the contract.

To make it easier for travelers to park their bikes near train stations, Île-de-France Mobilités is rolling out a bike parking service throughout the region.

There are two types:

• Open-access (free) and covered areas, equipped with a 3-point bike locking system for secure parking.
• Locked and secure lockers, accessible with a Navigo pass or a transit pass. Most of these areas are also equipped with video surveillance. Some lockers also offer charging stations for electric bikes, lockers, and/or air pumps.

Find all the information about bike parking facilities here.

Check the interactive map to find an Île-de-France Mobilités bike parking facility near your train station or transit station and sign up for a locker.

The bikes are not for sale; they are available exclusively for rent to residents of the Île-de-France region. Indeed, the primary goal of Véligo Location is to:

• enable all residents of the Île-de-France region who wish to do so to try out e-bikes over an extended period,
• and to facilitate, in the long term, the transition to this mode of transportation throughout the Île-de-France region.

The bikes therefore remain the property of Île-de-France Mobilités. But rest assured: models available from several French manufacturers offer the same key features as our bikes. And if you’re interested in purchasing one, don’t forget that purchase subsidies are available, depending on where you live or your personal circumstances.

Our bikes are designed to let you experience electric mobility in the Île-de-France region and are suitable for a wide range of riders. To check the size compatibility of our models, please refer to the product page for the bike you’re interested in.

For larger sizes, we can provide a longer seatpost for greater comfort. If needed, you can contact our Customer Service Center by phone at 0 800 10 20 20.

If you have any questions or need advice on electric bikes, feel free to visit one of our events to test ride our models. Booking a free test ride is easy—simply select a time slot from those listed on our appointment form.

Véligo Location is a limited-time offer that lets you discover and try out a new way to get around every day by renting a bike for an extended period. You can test up to 20 different models of regular or electric bikes. At the end of the rental period, if you like this mode of transportation, you can purchase your own electric bike with complete peace of mind!

Check out our page dedicated to bike purchase incentives!

Depending on the model you wish to rent:

• Classic electric-assist bike: 6-month subscription renewable once for 6 months, or 9-month subscription renewable once for 3 months, or 12-month non-renewable subscription—your choice.
• Non-electric bike: 6-month subscription renewable once for 6 months, or 9-month subscription renewable once for 3 months, or 12-month non-renewable subscription—your choice
• Folding bike: 3-month subscription, renewable twice for 3 months

Yes, when you start a new subscription for a different bike model, you can choose one of the available insurance plans.

First of all, we recommend that you always remove the battery when your bike is parked.

Battery theft is covered only by the “Sérénité” plan from the insurer Sharelock for standard e-bikes and cargo e-bikes.

The amount of €450 corresponding to the battery will be debited directly from your account by Véligo Location, minus the deductible already paid (€200 deductible).

Please come directly to the location during the time slots listed above with your SOV_XXXXXX.

An inventory of the returned accessories will be conducted with the partner, and a return confirmation form will be prepared on-site for you to sign, confirming that the accessories have been returned in good condition. Please carefully review all the information on this document before signing it. Once this receipt has been signed and approved, no changes will be possible.

An invoice will also be issued if any damage is found at the partner’s location.

For Sharelock policyholders: this return form is required for your insurance claim. If you do not return the 2 keys (or 4 keys for cargo bikes), the insurer reserves the right to deny coverage for your claim.

If this is your first theft claim:

You must first pay the value of the bike.

Starting from the date you report the theft in your customer portal, you have 14 days to let us know if your stolen bike is recovered. Once this period has passed, you will be notified by email that your invoice is available in your customer portal. You must submit it to your Sharelock insurance provider.

Once Sharelock has approved your claim, a “Renew Subscription” button will appear the next day in your customer portal, provided your payments are up to date. You will be notified by email of your right to renew your subscription for the same plan you originally chose or for a new plan that includes mandatory insurance. You have 60 days from the date you receive the email to renew.

If this is your second theft:

In this case, you can no longer sign up for a new subscription.

Please come directly to our location during the hours listed above with your SOV_XXXXXX (at the time of your visit, a receipt will be issued confirming the successful return of the accessories; please keep this receipt.)

The invoice for theft may be reduced by the value of the returned battery, provided it is returned in good condition and in compliance with specifications.

If the battery is returned damaged but repairable, you will be charged €113 (including tax). This is because when the battery head—which serves as the “handle”—is broken, the entire upper section of the battery must be replaced.

However, if the battery is returned damaged and beyond repair, you will be billed the full amount. The battery costs €260 for all bike models, except for adapted models, where the price is €650.

The invoice will be issued on the 15th day following the date you reported your bike stolen. The invoice, which shows the total cost of the theft, can be found in your customer account. You will be charged starting on the due date listed on the invoice.

If a bike with a battery is stolen, you will be billed the full amount for the value of both the bike and the battery.

If you would like to be charged before the due date listed on the invoice, please contact [email protected] and include your user number.

If you are currently renting a bike:

• Submit a maintenance request using our online form, which you can access from your Véligo Location customer portal under the “My Maintenance” section. Your invoice will be available in your customer portal 8 days after your maintenance service.

If you are returning your bike:

• Return your bike and its accessories in their current condition. Any missing items will be noted in the end-of-rental report by the carrier. This report will be available in your customer portal within 24 hours. You will be charged starting on the due date indicated on the invoice.

Installment payments are not available with Véligo Location. However, if your invoice is returned to us as unpaid, you will be contacted by our service provider, Weneo, to arrange a personalized payment plan. Please note that this may result in additional fees.

If this is your first theft:

You must first pay the value of the bike.

You will be notified by email of your right to renew your subscription for the same plan you originally selected or for a new plan. You have 60 days from the date you receive the email to renew your subscription.

If you paid your invoice before the 30-day deadline, you can contact our customer service center to request to renew your subscription before that deadline.
