How to ride TIER eMopeds with FREENOW

You need a driving licence to ride a TIER eMoped. Luckily it’s easy peasy to validate your licence before renting an eMoped  – just follow the instructions on screen and you’ll be ready to hit the road. Plus, you’ll only need to do it once.

If you’ve already validated your driving licence with FREENOW, you’re ready to go ;)

Find your TIER eMoped on the in-app map, then tap to start the rental. Unlock  your eMoped with the app and you’re almost ready to go...

Once you’ve unlocked, here’s what you need to do before hitting the open road...

1. Open the helmet box by firmly pressing the top button on the right side of the wheel, and grab a helmet.
2. Get your eMoped off the kickstand by firmly pushing the handlebars forward with both hands. 
3. To start the eMoped – press the GO button in the middle of the wheel, while pulling one of the brake levers. Aaaand you’re moving!
4. Wanna speed up? Firmly turn the right hand-side of the wheel towards you.
5. Time to slow down? Just squeeze the brake levers.

• Be attentive: watch out for large vehicles, do not drive in blind spots and always be focused on and aware of your surroundings, traffic and pedestrians.
• ALWAYS wear a helmet – this is mandatory. 
• Please obey local traffic laws and remember that you can’t drive eMopeds in the bike lanes in Germany. 
• Never drink and ride. If you need to get home after a drink or two, switch tabs and take a taxi or Ride instead.

To end your trip, park the eMoped inside the business area marked on the map. Push the kickstand down, place the helmets in the helmet box and lock it. Open the app and tap the “End rental” button.

Make sure to find a suitable spot for your eMoped and be considerate when parking. Watch out for no-parking signs and DO NOT block sidewalks, bike or bus lanes, private entryways or driveways. Local authorities may charge you a fine if you don’t follow these parking rules.
