NEW: VIRTUAL STATIONS
Our system includes a major feature! These are “virtual” stations located in the Austerlitz, Broglie and Les Halles P3 Wilson parking facilities.
What’s special about these stations is that they don’t have any terminals. All you have to do is park your Vélhop in a Vélhop bike hoop, lock the frame lock, and that’s it!
Your Self-Service Bike
Nextbike's new Vélhop offer great user comfort.
As well as being resistant to the elements, weathering and corrosion, the bike's components are designed to resist attempts at damage thanks to internal wiring.
Its QR code, RFID reader and GPS box enable each bike to be geolocated, and to be hired, parked and returned flexibly via the Vélhop application.
