Before each ride, adjust the bike seat to fit your height. Open the black lever at the bottom of the seat post to move the seat up or down, then clamp it tight. The numbered markings on the seat post help you remember your setting for next time.

Whether you're riding a bike or scooter, it’s a good idea to squeeze the brakes and make sure there’s good resistance, and to check the tires to make sure they’re not flat. If something doesn’t feel right, keep the bike or scooter locked and tap the flag in the upper right-hand corner of your app to report the problem, then choose a different bike or scooter.

Please see our Rules of the Road for more pre-ride safety tips.
