Shared bikes are a handy way to cover short distances, especially along the Park Connector Network. Two self-service apps are widely used in Singapore: Anywheel and HelloRide. You find a bike on the map, unlock it with your phone and leave it at a designated spot when you are done.

We could not confirm current prices on the operators' own pages, so please check fares in each app before you ride.

How it works in general

  1. Download the app and register. Anywheel's App Store listing says its app lets you locate and unlock devices and track your past trips. HelloRide's website says to download the app and register a new account.
  2. Find a bike on the map and walk to it.
  3. Scan the QR code on the bike to unlock. HelloRide advises checking the handbrakes and headlight before you ride.
  4. Ride within the operating zone shown in the app. HelloRide's guide says to keep left, give way to pedestrians and keep a safe distance.
  5. Park only at a designated spot. In HelloRide, look for the "P" spot on the map, end the trip and scan the QR code at the parking area.

Ending your trip properly matters

LTA says shared bicycles must be parked only in designated parking zones, which you can find in the bicycle-sharing app. Scan the QR code near the parking area to end your trip. LTA warns that you may be banned from using shared bicycles if you fail to end trips at designated zones. Parking in the wrong place can also lead to charges, so take a moment to check.

Passes and prices

HelloRide lists several passes, including a 1-day pass and a weekend pass, with different usage limits. We have not confirmed fares for either app, so check the app's pricing screen before you unlock.

Visitor checklist

  • Check whether the app accepts your phone number and payment method. We could not confirm this for overseas visitors.
  • Take a quick look at the tyres, brakes, bell and light before you ride.
  • Wear a helmet. LTA requires it on roads, and it is a good habit anywhere.
  • Plan your end point before you set off.
