How are my riding minutes calculated?

When you reserve a scooter, you get 15 free minutes to reach it and start it. Your paid minutes start when you tap “Démarre ton DOG” (Start your DOG).

If you pause your ride, the pause is charged at €0.17 per minute in Bordeaux, Libourne, Marmande and Tonneins, and €0.20 per minute in Arcachon. When you tap “Termine ton trajet” (End your ride) in the app, the timer stops.

Do you accept foreign debit cards?

If the card is valid in France, we accept it. Accepted payment methods are Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

My payment was declined, what should I do?

Check your card or add another one in the app. If the problem continues, message us in the app chat.

Is there a discount for students?

Yes. If your student union (BDE) is an eDOG partner or if you have the Carte Jeune, you get 15% off your rides: send your proof in the app chat. All the details are on the Students page.

How does referral work?

Your referral code is in the app, in the “Gagner des rides offerts” (Earn free rides) tab. Your invited friend gets €5 and you earn €5 for every friend who tries the app. First add a bank card in the app to unlock referral. More details on the Referral page.

Can discounts be combined?

No. The 15% discounts (Carte Jeune, partner student unions) cannot be combined with each other.

How do I get a receipt or an invoice?

Ask us for it in the app chat.

During your ride

How do I start the scooter?

Select a scooter in the app, reserve it and walk to it. Once you get there, stand next to the scooter and tap “Démarre ton DOG” (Start your DOG). If you come across a scooter in the street, select it in the app and tap “Démarre ton DOG” (Start your DOG).

How do I end my ride?

Tap “Termine ton trajet” (End your ride) in the app: the scooter switches off automatically and your ride ends.

You can end your ride anywhere in the light green area, called the “service area”, in a spot where motorised two-wheelers are allowed. You cannot end your ride outside this area, but you can of course park there temporarily by pausing your ride. Follow the rules of good conduct and respect your surroundings: treat the scooter as if it were your own.

Don't cause any inconvenience when parking your electric scooter. Make sure:

  • you park somewhere scooters are allowed;
  • your scooter is stable and upright on its stand;
  • you don't leave the scooter leaning against anything;
  • you don't park the scooter on the road;
  • you don't block an entrance or an exit.
How do I park at the airport with eDOG?

The eDOG area at the airport is marked on the app map with a blue and orange “P”: make sure you park your scooter in this area. At the entrance, head for the motorbike car park.

“P Motos” sign pointing to the airport motorbike car park

Don't forget your ticket! Then head to the back of the car park, on the left.

Once there, park in the spaces reserved for eDOG (they are signposted) and don't forget to end your ride.

To leave the airport on an eDOG, head for the exit and press the intercom, saying you are on an eDOG. No ticket needed!

And that's it! Of course you don't pay for parking, and you are free to ride on the roads of the Bordeaux metropolitan area.

What should I do in case of an accident or breakdown?

First get to safety and call 112 if necessary. Then let us know in the app chat. Don't leave the scooter on the road.

The battery is low, what should I do?

End your ride in the service area and choose another scooter. Our team recharges the batteries.

I got a fine, what happens?

Traffic offences committed during your ride are your responsibility. The terms of use give all the details.
