How it works ?

To rent a Cycl'AM self-service electric bike, you must first register via your pc, your smartphone or your tablet and save your bank details. For that, download the free Cycl'AM application in the pink and blue colors of Ardenne Métropole on Google Play or Apple Store.

Then it's simple: the application will geolocate you to offer you a bike in the nearest station. You will then receive a code that will unlock the bike of your choice on the chosen station. Practical: the application lets you know in real time how many bikes are available and the charge level of each bike.

Different formulas are possible :

  • For occasional trips, there is a getaway package at 15 euros for 4 hours or even a flash system (without subscription) where the minutes cost 10 cents from the first minute.
  • For daily journeys, subscriptions : week (5 euros) – monthly (15 euros / 10 euros for students and job seekers) and annual (70 euros).

Important info :

  • Security deposit of 150 € (Without direct debit, minimum of 150 € to be guaranteed on the bank account in the event of non-payment of the service; lowered to 50 € for the student / job seeker monthly subscription)
  • Maximum duration of use: 24 hours.
  • The same subscription can release up to 4 bikes for families.
  • Trips less than 2 min. are not charged.
