- How to use and acquire the right to use the system
The method of using and renting is described in detail on the Operator’s website www.kotor.travel , the website www.go2bike.hr and is available to the logged User via the Go2Bike application.
The Go2Bike system has two payment methods: direct billing and prepaid billing. The Operator decides on the method of payment.
It is necessary to first scan (read) the Go2Bike QR code contained in the bikes or the equipment. The method of scanning (reading) depends on the type of mobile phone and the technology it uses (scanning via an imaging application (camera), QR code reader application, etc.). The User must check in the address bar if the link he clicked on is the address on the Go2Bike secure domain, app.go2bike.eu.
The User has at his disposal a QR reader within the Go2Bike application located on the app.go2bike.eu domain.
After the User has scanned (read) the QR code using a mobile phone, an interface opens in which he/she chooses the rental method.
Prepaid account – In case the Operator has opted for prepaid payment, the credit card linked to the User account is tokenized. In order for the User to make a lease, it is necessary to have sufficient funds in the prepaid account, prescribed by the Operator. The User scans the Go2Bike QR code from the vehicle/equipment and clicks on the already registered one, ie logs in app and clicks on Unlock and Rent, which unlocks the bike from the Operator docking, and by that the renting starts. The calculation price of bike/equipment use rental is based on 1 minute period, and the rent is paid according to the exact time of use.
One-time code – If the Operator opts for direct payment, after the payment has been made using the WSPay secure card payment system, the User receives an alphanumeric driving code that then either type on the pylon and select the desired available e-bike or scan the Go2Bike QR code on the desired bike, log in the app, and type or paste the purchased alpha-numeric code and unlock the bike using the mobile phone clicking on Unlock and Rent. The beginning of the rental starts and the beginning of the duration of the alphanumeric code starts at the moment when the User enters the one-time code on his mobile phone and unlocks the bike, thus beginning these prescribed obligations of the User. Within the time frame from the initial activation and duration of the alpha-numeric code, the User can rent several bikes, but he can rent only one bike per one alpha-numeric code at the same time.
- Restrictions on Use Rights
The use of bike rental is charged per hour, after the first two hours expire.

If the User does not return the bike even after the expiration of 24 hours, from the beginning of the rental and does not act in accordance with point 7.
