Good to know
What for
- Get to work while your own bike is at the repair shop.
- Ride along the canal or through the Sonian Forest with a visiting friend.
- Try a mountain bike or a city bike before buying one.
How to choose
- Frame size. It depends on your height. Check it in the listing, because the saddle height can be adjusted but the frame cannot.
- City bike or mountain bike. A city bike (mudguards, rack, lights) suits cycle paths and everyday trips. A mountain bike suits tracks and forests but is less comfortable on the road.
- Electric or not. The assistance helps on hills and long rides. In the listing, check the battery, the charger and the range.
- Lock and lights. Ask whether the lock is included and whether the lights work, especially if you ride at dusk.
What to check at handover
- The front and rear brakes, tried over a few metres.
- The tyres, properly inflated with no cracks, and the chain, clean and with no play.
- The front and rear lights, the bell and the reflectors.
- The condition of the item noted together in the app, with photos, at pick-up and on return.
Rent or buy?
A bike that rarely goes out rusts in a cellar or gets in the way in a building's hallway. Rent one for a ride, a weekend or to try a model before you decide, without maintaining it for the rest of the year.
Common questions
How do I set the saddle to my height?
Sit on the bike with your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be almost straight. Adjust the saddle height before you set off, and ask the owner how it is released.
What if I get a puncture during the rental?
Tell the owner through the app's messages. At pick-up, ask whether they provide a spare inner tube, a pump or a repair kit, and agree what they expect from you.
Is there a deposit?
Between individuals, no: Loutou doesn't manage deposits. Only the booking amount is held on your card when you send a request. A professional can set a deposit on their listing; it's paid in person at handover and appears in the handover condition.
How do handover and return work?
In person, at a time you arrange with the owner. At handover and at return, the owner records the item's condition: a checklist and photos. You check it from your account until midnight the next day: confirm it, or report a disagreement with a photo. If the item doesn't match the listing, don't take it and write to us.
When is my card charged, and can I cancel?
When you send a request, the amount is only held on your card, not charged. It's charged once the owner accepts; with no agreement within 24 hours, nothing is charged. You can cancel until the rental starts, under the listing's policy: flexible, moderate or strict.
