HOW IT WORKS
THE BASICS
Rent.
Find a nearby bike on the This Machine app. Scan the QR code on the bike.
Ride.
Hop on, and enjoy as the pedal assist motor provides an extra boost while you ride.
Repeat.
Return the bike to any station or bike rack in the service area. In Broken Arrow, bikes must be returned to a This Machine station.
GETTING STARTED
Dowload the "This Machine" mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account. Watch the "How to use our app" video below if you need more help.
Tap your name, then "Pricing and membership" to select a pass. Tap the pink box for the one you want. It will be applied when you scan a bike.
RIDING
The Bike:
Our bikes are simple and easy to use. Pedal to go, and squeeze the brakes on the handlebars to stop. The pedal-assist motor will automatically engage when you are pedaling, and slow down when you stop pedaling. There's also a bell (twist, on the right handlebar), and the seat height is adjustable.
The Road:
Ride on paved trails, in bike lanes, or on roads. Always observe traffic laws (ride with traffic, stop at stoplights, signal which direction you're going, etc), so drivers can understand where you're going. Stay alert and be safe.
The Finish:
After your ride, return the bike to a bike rack or public pole in the This Machine service area. In Broken Arrow, bikes must be returned to a This Machine Station. Wrap the cable around the rack, put the loop around the back wheel-lock on the bike, and close the lock. In the app, tap on the box with your active trip, and follow the instructions. Your ride is ended after you take a picture of the locked bike.
HELPFUL VIDEOS
The video to the right is in Spanish. Here's the Engligh text:
This Machine electric bikes are finally here!
You can rent one of our new electric bikes downtown, in Kendall Whittier, and at Gathering Place. Just download the This Machine app on your phone, scan the QR code of the bike you want to rent, and pedal. That easy!
Once you're done, simply lock the bike in a bike rack, so it's safe, and take a picture so you know the bike was properly locked.
Ride This Machine's bikes and have fun discovering Tulsa!
