Do you know that the municipality of Siena has an affordable electric bike service at a very minimal rate?
We found it out for you and believe me, this is the most affordable way (as a replacement to walking) to explore/travel within Siena City Centre!

To register for Bicincittà services, visit their website and complete the registration (see the top right corner), ensuring you provide your Codice Fiscale.

HOW TO PURCHASE A NEW SUBSCRIPTION

To sign up for a new SIPEDALA subscription you need to connect to the website www.bicincitta.com and register online (click on “Log in” at the top right, then on “Register”).

Payment can be made by credit card or bank transfer.

To take advantage of the discounts reserved for users aged up to 26 years it is necessary to send a copy of the identity document to the email address sipedala@comune.siena.it. A discount code will be sent to be inserted in the online purchase procedure.

It is also possible to request the card to be sent to your home at a cost of 3 euros or choose free collection at the Sigerico counter in Via Fontebranda n. 77, from Monday to Friday from 8.15am to 12.45pm and from 2.00pm to 4.30pm.

To renew your subscription or top up your card:

• directly online from the website www.bicincitta.com by logging in with your credentials

• via the free “Bicincittà” app

Once you register, you can login and pay as your choice :

  1. This subscription grants you access to SIPEDALA e-bicycles stationed across the city centre. Click here to find the stations.
  2. You can access services through both the mobile application and a physical card (which can be obtained during registration at no extra cost but must be collected from the office. Click here to see the location)
  3. Once you are done with the above, you can access the SIPEDALA e-bicycle by using Bicincitta App from Playstore/Appstore.
  4. Both the physical card and the online application can be used for unlocking the SIPEDALA e-bicycle from the stations.
  5. The online wallet in the Bicincitta app will have a balance of 5 euros (which needs to be maintained always to access the SIPEDALA e-bicycle). There’s no service fee for using the SIPEDALA e-bicycle for 30 minutes; however, it must be returned to the any station within this timeframe (exceeding the 30-minute limit incurs a charge of 50 cents for every subsequent 30 minutes).
