Nextbike – The newest technology SmartBike public bike sharing system
Welcome to nextbike Nicosia!
The newest technology SmartBike public bike sharing system.
Nextbike Cy Ltd owns and operates the public bike sharing system of nextbike in Limassol since 2012 and is now making its presence in the streets of Nicosia with the latest technology of SmartBikes! The municipalities of Nicosia, Strovolos, Agios Dometios, Engomi and Aglantzia participate in this network.
The goal of nextbike is to be able to provide a supplementary and environmentally friendly means of transport for point-to-point distances to the local community, tourists & visitors as well as the students of Nicosia. The city is known for its busy streets and traffic congestion issues as well the increased parking fees. With our bikes we want to offer the option of being able to carry out errands, popping out for lunch, attending classes or otherwise touring the cities on the bike, so as to offer a relief from the stress of traffic and parking.
We also offer packages at reduced prices to local businesses who wish to offer this service to their employees as an additional HR benefit, thus also enhancing their CSR portfolio.
Our SmartBikes make the rental & return process even easier! We offer a practical, easy and simple registration and rental solution to our users and our bikes are available 24/7.
How it works:
For first time users, you must register a new account online on our website www.nextbike.com.cy and through our nextbike App.
Activation of the account is automatically made once the payment details of the customer are entered. Various payment options are available such as credit or debit card registration or Paypal. Customers can also purchase vouchers at designated kiosks to top-up their nextbike account.
Upon confirming the payment method, the customer will be charged 10€ for verification purposes. This 10€ will be credited to the customer as a starting credit and can be used with all tariffs. The payment method can be changed by the customer at any time.
A customer can rent up to 4 bikes under one account in both our nextbike cities – Nicosia & Limassol.
For any assistance customers can contact us on our hotline at 77788323 or +35799408094 or by email at info@nextbike.com.cy
