Fölläri bikes

Turku city bikes, also known as fölläri bikes, continue their season until Christmas!

There are a total of 700 fölläri bikes and more than 200 stations in Turku. 

The city bike system is provided by Danish company Donkey Republic. The locations of the city bike stations can be found in Föli's journey planner, City of Turku's service map and Donkey Republic's application. As before, the bikes are a part of Föli services.

The city bike season is from the first of April and ends on 31 October. Their use will continue directly into the winter season from first of November until December 23, 2025.

During the winter season, the number of bikes will be reduced from the normal 700 to 400 in early November. In December, the number of bikes will decrease further towards the end of the season on December 23. As the number of bikes decreases, the number of stations will also have to be reduced to have enough bikes at the selected stops.

A winter pass (€5.00) can be purchased during the winter season. The winter pass can be purchased one week before the start of the season.

In case of severe weather conditions, the bikes will be taken out of service if necessary but will be returned when the weather improves. Winter tires are not installed on the bikes.

 

Core areas in winter season 2025

The map shows the core areas where bikes and bike stations will remain until the end of the winter season. At the beginning of the season, bikes will also be available in a wider area. The number of bikes will be gradually reduced from the normal 700 to 400 in November. The most frequently used stations will be kept until the end of the winter season. In addition to usage, the selection of stations is influenced by their location along winter maintenance routes. Check the available bikes and stations in the Donkey Republic app.

Good to know

The bikes are 3-speed bikes with handbrakes and aluminium frames. Users open and close the electronic wheel lock with a smartphone app, which also displays information about the rental.

The new city bike system includes stations with physical racks as well as virtual stations. In the Turku city centre area, the station network is based on stations with racks, and outside the city centre, the stations do not necessarily have any physical structures. Instead, users can check the location of the stations from the app.

How to use fölläri bikes:

1. Download the Donkey Republic app on your phone and sign up

2. Find a fölläri bike with the app and open its Bluetooth lock

3. Enjoy your bike ride

4. Return the bike to a station and end the rental in the app
