How to use Kakao Bike, usage fee, service area
Kakao Bike is a bicycle sharing service similar to Ttareungyi in Seoul and 15th in Goyang. However, unlike existing shared bicycles, Kakao Bike is an electric bicycle, so it has the advantage of being able to ride without much power even on a gentle slope. Then, let’s learn how to use Kakao Bike.
How to use
The general usage method is as follows.
[Install Kakao T App] – [Search available bikes] – [Scan QR code] – [Lock the lock after use] 카카오바이크 요금

3. You can search available bikes around you. Because the remaining battery is included in the location where the bike is located, it is possible to search for the desired bike.

4. Once you’ve found the bike you want, scan the QR code on the wheel side and under the saddle. If it is scanned normally, the locking device is unlocked and the motor operates when the pedal is pressed.
5. When returning the bike after use, be sure to check if the locking device of the bike has been activated. If the lock has been activated normally, you will receive a payment completion message on your smartphone.
Parking method
There is no separate cradle for return, so you can park in a place that does not obstruct traffic. (No parking in the driveway, parking lot, basement or under a bridge)
In the case of an apartment complex, you must park in front of the front door.
Precautions when using Kakao Bike
– Since the Kakao Bike is an electric bicycle, it is essential to check the battery level, especially when driving long distances. If the battery is dead, you have to turn the pedals like a regular bicycle.
– A fine of 30,000 won for drunk driving (blood alcohol level 0.03%).
– As this bike is for one person, it is not covered by insurance when more than two people ride.
– It is possible to leave the non-service area while driving, but you must park in the service area when returning it.
(In case of violation, 20,000 won is imposed)
usage fee
You can use it for 15 minutes after paying 1,500 won for the first time, and 100 won per minute thereafter.
Currently, Kakao Bike’s deposit system has been abolished, so there is no separate deposit and there is no nighttime surcharge, but the somewhat expensive usage fee is a pity. (For reference, the basic fare for Seoul, Songpa, Ulsan, Incheon, Seo-gu, and Jeonju will change from 1,500 won (15 minutes) to 200 won (0 minutes) from June 14.)
