Electric moped rental in Stockholm

Last updated: 28 October 2026 · All prices include 25% VAT

Getting started

What is GoCimo?

GoCimo rents electric mopeds in Stockholm. You book and pay in the GoCimo app, pick up the moped at our rental hub, and swap to a charged battery at GoCimo battery stations around the city. You never charge the moped yourself.

There are two ways to rent:

  • Shared rental: book in the app for 15 minutes up to 24 hours, and pick up the moped at our Medborgarplatsen rental hub, 24/7.
  • Monthly rental: You arrange it with our team, sign a contract and collect the keys at our Solna rental hub.
What do I need to rent a GoCimo moped?

To rent a GoCimo moped you need:

  • to be 18 or older
  • a valid ID (it doesn't have to be Swedish)
  • a valid licence for a class II moped (see the next question)
  • a payment card in your own name
Which driving licence do I need?

GoCimo mopeds are class II mopeds with a top speed of 25 km/h. You need either:

  • a class II moped licence (förarbevis for moped klass II), or any higher licence, such as a car licence, or
  • if you were born before 1 October 1994, a valid ID is enough.
How do I sign up?
  1. Download the GoCimo app and create an account.
  2. Accept the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy.
  3. Add a payment card in your own name.
  4. Start your first booking. When you choose a vehicle type, the app asks you to verify your ID and, if needed, your driving licence.
  5. Once you're verified, finish your booking.
When do I verify my ID and driving licence?

The first time you book. When you choose a vehicle type for your booking, the app guides you through verifying your ID and, if needed, your driving licence. You only need to do it once.

Can I use a GoCimo moped for delivery work?

Yes. You can use a GoCimo moped for deliveries for any platform, and for personal trips. It is insured for delivery work.

Can I use a foreign driving licence?

Yes, as long as Swedish law allows you to ride on it.

Does renting a GoCimo moped give me a courier job?

No. GoCimo only rents out the moped. Courier work comes from the delivery platform or company you work with.

Can someone else use my account or ride my moped?

No. Your account is personal, and only you may ride the moped you booked. Letting someone else use your account costs a 1,500 SEK penalty.

What language is the app in?

The GoCimo app is in English.

Prices and payment

How much does it cost to rent a moped?

Prices for a shared rental in Stockholm, including 25% VAT:

What Price
First 4 hours (minimum charge)159 SEK
Each additional started hour35 SEK

You always pay at least 159 SEK, even if you book less than 4 hours. Third Party Liability insurance, Battery swaps and electricity are included.

What does a rental cost? (examples)

What a shared rental costs for different booking lengths, including VAT:

Booked time Price
1 hour159 SEK
4 hours159 SEK
4 hours 30 minutes194 SEK
6 hours229 SEK
8 hours299 SEK
10 hours369 SEK
When am I charged?

The rental price is charged when you create the booking. It's taken from your GoCimo wallet, and if there isn't enough in your wallet, the rest is charged to your bank card. Extensions and late hours are charged at the end of the ride.

What is the 50 SEK temporary hold?

Every shared rental has a 50 SEK temporary hold. It's placed on your bank card when you start the ride, not when you book, and it's always on your card, never on your wallet. It's released after your rental if there are no extra charges, such as late hours. Most banks show the money back within minutes, but some take a few business days. This depends on your bank, not GoCimo.

How do I top up my wallet?

You can top up your wallet in the app with 200 SEK, 300 SEK or 500 SEK at a time.

What is automatic top-up?

Automatic top-up makes sure your balance doesn't run out during a ride. It's on by default. When your balance drops to 35 SEK or lower during a ride, 200 SEK is charged to your card and added to your wallet. You can turn it off in the app, but we recommend keeping it on.

Why did my moped stop during my ride?

If your wallet balance falls below zero during a ride, the moped comes to a smooth stop. Top up your wallet in the app and you can carry on riding.

Why was I charged 10 SEK when I added my card?

This checks that your card is valid. The 10 SEK is added to your wallet balance, so you don't lose it.

Are there free shifts or promotions?

GoCimo runs promotions together with our partners, such as food delivery platforms. A promotion can include free credit in your GoCimo wallet. If you work for one of these partners, ask your manager there whether a promotion is available and how to get it.

Do I get money back if I return the moped early?

No. There's no refund for booked time you don't use.

Can I get my wallet money back?

Yes. Money you paid into your wallet is refunded to your original payment method when you close your account, minus anything you still owe.

What happens if a payment fails?

If a payment fails, GoCimo can pause your account and stop the moped until the amount is paid.

Booking, extending and cancelling

How do I book a moped?
  1. In the app, choose the rental hub, your start time and your return time.
  2. Confirm the booking. The price is charged when you book.
  3. Go to the rental hub at your start time.
How long can I rent a moped for?

A shared rental can be from 15 minutes up to 24 hours. You pay at least 159 SEK, which covers the first 4 hours.

How do I extend my booking?

Open your booking in the app, tap "Return time" and choose your new return time. Before you extend, note that:

  • you can extend before or after you've started the ride
  • you can extend once per booking
  • you can add up to the length of your original booking, for example up to 6 more hours if you booked 6 hours
  • your rental, including the extension, can't be longer than 24 hours in total
  • it depends on availability: if someone else has booked the moped for that time, the app won't let you extend
  • extra hours cost 35 SEK per started hour and are charged at the end of the ride
When does my rental start?

Your rental runs from the start time to the return time in your booking. If you pick up the moped later than your start time, your return time stays the same.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, you can cancel a booking in the app, but there's no refund.

Can I book ahead?

Yes. You can book days or weeks ahead.

Can I have more than one booking?

Yes, you can have up to two bookings at a time, for example one for tomorrow and one for next week. You can only ride one moped at a time.

What happens if I don't show up for my booking?

The booking isn't refunded.

Picking up and riding

Where can I pick up a moped?

At our Medborgarplatsen rental hub, Noe Arksfaret 5, Stockholm. You enter via one of the glass houses, a PIN code can be required. It's open 24/7. You can also see the rental hub on the map in the app: main menu → More → Battery Stations, then pick your city.

How do I get into the rental hub?

The Medborgarplatsen rental hub needs an access code. To find it in the app, open the main menu, tap More → Access Management and select the location. Never share access codes with anyone.

How do I start the moped?
  1. Find your moped using the vehicle number shown in your booking.
  2. Tap "Start the ride" in the app. Sometimes you need to tap it twice.
  3. When the display lights up, squeeze one brake handle.
  4. Press the red button on the right handle.
  5. When the display shows "0", you're ready to go.
How do I turn off and lock the moped when I stop?

Tap "On / Off" in the app. The moped turns off and locks. Tap "On / Off" again to turn it back on. Your rental keeps running while the moped is off. Always close the seat before you leave the moped.

Is a helmet included?

No. Bring your own helmet. It's required by law. A delivery box is included, but a phone holder isn't.

How long can I leave the moped unattended?

If you leave the moped for more than a brief moment, lock it with your own chain lock so it stays safe. With a chain lock you can also keep the moped overnight, for example on a rental that runs into the next morning. Park only where parking is allowed, and bring the moped back to the rental hub at the end of your rental.

What should I check before I ride?

Check the tyres, brakes, lights, mirrors, battery and any damage. If you see damage, it is important that you report it in the app before you start the ride (More → Report).

Can I take a passenger?

No. Passengers aren't allowed.

Where can I ride?

Only in Stockholm, within the area shown in the app.

What are the rules while riding?
  • Only you may ride the moped.
  • No passengers.
  • Wear a helmet.
  • Don't ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Don't carry dangerous goods, such as loose lithium batteries, fuel or gas.
  • Don't modify the moped or use your own chargers or batteries.
  • Follow Swedish traffic rules.
What are the rules at the rental hub?

Only enter the rental hub to collect or return a moped, and leave straight away afterwards. Don't leave anything at the hub, including food, rubbish or personal belongings. Items left behind are thrown away.

Battery and battery stations

How far does a battery go?

A fully charged battery lasts about 45 km. Cold weather, hills and heavy loads reduce the range. You can see the battery level on the dashboard.

How do I swap the battery?
  1. In the app, tap More → Open seat.
  2. Take out the empty battery.
  3. Push it into any free slot at the station until you hear a click. The slot light shows the battery is recognised.
  4. Wait about 10 seconds. A charged battery slides out.
  5. Put the new battery in the moped and close the seat.
  6. Tap "On / Off" in the app to turn on the moped. The seat must be closed and locked to be able to start.
Where are the battery stations?

In the app, open the main menu, tap More → Battery Stations, pick your city and follow the directions to the nearest station. Some stations need an access code, which you'll find under More → Access Management.

Do I pay for battery swaps?

No. Battery swaps and electricity are included in your rental.

No charged battery came out of the station. What do I do?
  1. Check that your old battery went in fully: push it in until you hear a click and the slot light shows it's recognised.
  2. Listen to the station. It may say "Dispensing", "Please wait" or give an error code.
  3. Check every slot if a battery is released by gently pulling it out. A charged battery may have slid out only slightly.
  4. If your battery is locked in and nothing comes out, don't force the doors. Contact us in the in-app chat with the station name and your moped's vehicle number. Our team can release a battery remotely.
The battery I got isn't fully charged. Why?

When demand is high, the station gives you the battery with the most charge it has. Check the estimated range on the dashboard. If it covers your trip, carry on. If not, swap again at the next station on your route.

The station doesn't accept my battery. What do I do?

Push it in until you hear a click and the slot light shows it's recognised. If that doesn't work, try another free slot or another station. Never leave a battery that the station hasn't taken in. You are responsible for the battery when it is not locked into the station.

What sizes of battery stations are there?

Large stations have 10 slots and 8 batteries. Small stations have 5 slots and 4 batteries.

Can I charge the battery at home?

No. Batteries are only charged at GoCimo battery stations, and GoCimo batteries only work with GoCimo stations.

What should I do with the battery when it's cold?

Below 0°C the battery is weaker, and below −10°C the moped may not start. When it's below 0°C and you park for more than 15 minutes, take the battery out and bring it indoors with you.

The battery is hot, smoking or leaking. What do I do?

Stop using it, move away from it, and contact us in the in-app chat straight away.

Returning the moped

How do I return the moped?
  1. Make sure the battery has more than 40% charge.
  2. Return the moped to the same rental hub where you picked it up, and park in a designated GoCimo space.
  3. Make sure the delivery box and the seat compartment are empty and clean.
  4. If there's any damage, submit a damage report in the app.
  5. Make sure the seat is locked.
  6. Tap "End Rental" in the app.
  7. Take 5 photos: front, back, left side, right side, and one showing how and where it's parked.
What happens if I return the moped late?

You pay 35 SEK for every started hour you're late, plus a 300 SEK late-return fee. For example, if you book 6 hours (229 SEK) and return 2 hours late, you pay 229 + 2 × 35 + 300 = 599 SEK. If you need more time, extend your booking in the app before your return time.

How much battery does the moped need when I return it?

More than 40%. Returning with less costs a 300 SEK fee, so swap the battery first if you need to.

Can I return the moped somewhere else?

No. Always return it to the same rental hub where you picked it up. Returning it anywhere else costs a 500 SEK fee.

The app won't let me end my rental. What do I do?
  1. Make sure the moped is parked inside the rental hub area where you picked it up.
  2. Turn off the moped and check that the seat is locked.
  3. Check that mobile data, Bluetooth and precise location are on for the GoCimo app. If the signal is weak, close the app and open it again.
  4. If it still doesn't work, take photos of the parked moped showing the licence plate/moped number and the surroundings, take a screenshot of the error, and contact us in the in-app chat.
What happens to things I leave on the moped?

Anything left in the delivery box, under the seat or at the rental hub is thrown away. GoCimo isn't responsible for items left behind.

Problems, damage and safety

My moped won't start. What do I do?
  1. Make sure the seat is fully closed: press down on the back of the seat until it clicks.
  2. If your moped has a side stand, flip it fully up.
  3. Follow the start steps: tap "Start the ride" (sometimes twice), squeeze a brake handle, press the red button. The display should show "0".
  4. If a "!" or an error code appears, turn the moped off, wait 30 seconds and try again.

If it still won't start, make a damage report in the app (More → Report) with the error code. You can also contact us in the chat. Then cancel your booking (or end the rental if you've started the ride) and book another moped. If there's no other moped available, contact us in the chat.

How do I report damage?

Report damage as soon as you notice it, before or during your rental. In the app, tap More → Report, choose the type of damage, describe it, add photos and submit. Damage you report before your ride won't be charged to you.

I can't open the seat. What do I do?
  • Make sure your phone has a good mobile signal, then tap More → Open seat in the app.
  • If the storage is overfilled, press down on the back of the seat while you open it.
  • Monthly rentals with a key: turn the key anticlockwise in the side switch. If the moped has no power, use the backup key in the emergency keyhole on the side panel.
  • Never force the seat open with tools. Damage from forcing it isn't covered.

If it still won't open, contact us in the in-app chat with the moped's vehicle number.

I've had an accident. What do I do?
  1. If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 112.
