About SETESDAL E-bike
The eBike hire scheme in Setesdal has been created through a collaboration between the municipalities of Evje and Hornnes, Bygland and Valle, and Setesdal Intermunicipal Political Council are responsible for the overall project.
It is a political ambition to get more people to cycle rather than drive a car, create health benefits and provide a new transport offer for visitors and permanent residents.
Norwegian ShareBike has delivered the system and maintenance is supported locally.

Ride
Enjoy the ride, take the bike wherever you want. No need to get range anxiety; the battery lasts for a good while. You can lock the bike along the way, but the rental will not end until you are back at a station.
Lock
Return the bike to one of the stations, you find in the app. GPS must be turned on on your phone. Slide the latch on the lock to make sure it is locked and end the lease in the app.
Problems registering?
If you have problems registering in the app, it might be that your payment card does not allow you to perform an authentication. In that case, you must contact your bank to open up for microtransactions for the app to work.
The Bike
If you have not tried an electric bike before, you will love these. A powerful motor and multiple gears allow you to travel everywhere, and without range anxiety.
A luggage carrier allows you to bring a little extra, but remember saddlebags or backpacks, since the luggage carrier has nothing to fasten your luggage with. The luggage carrier is also a solar panel and provides charging power for the technology on the bike.
Before cycling, switch on the motor with the switch on the handlebars, which can also switch on the headlights and taillights. This is also where you can adjust the motor power, and the display also shoes how much power is left on the battery - and your speed.
All the bikes have a local personality and are named so that you can more easily remember who gave you a great ride.

The Stations
The stations, which you will find on the map below, are virtual. This means that the system uses GPS to know if the bike is parked there and to define where the return of the bikes takes place.
The bicycles can only be picked up and returned at the stations, but if you want to park one temporarily, you can do it wherever you want.
Each station also has a sign showing where the station is located, and a bike rack for easy parking.
When you return a bike to the stations, please help us through parking in a safe and thoughtful way so that the bike does not tip over or is out of place.
