- Use your indicators at all times.
- ALWAYS wear a helmet – this is mandatory for both you and your passenger.

Want to do some quick grocery shopping or grab a coffee during your rental? No problem! You can leave your eMoped in park mode. Just pull over, open the FREENOW app and tap ‘Park’ – the helmet box will be locked, and the moped secured, so no one else can rent the eMoped whilst you’re away. When you’re ready, simply tap “Continue trip” and you’re good to go!
Ending your rentalEnding your rental
To end your trip, park the eMoped inside the business area marked on the map. Push the kickstand down, place the helmets in the storage 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 fine you if you don’t follow these parking rules.
