Riding

Scan. Ride. Park.

Information:
The ride will happen in the app
A MASHI e-bike and a MASHI scooter side by side in white with green livery, the M mark on each and 'Move your way' on the deck and the frame.

The ride

Four steps.

  1. Step 1

    Find a scooter.

    The map shows what is near you and how much battery it has.

  2. Step 2

    Scan to unlock.

    Point your phone at the QR code on the stem.

  3. Step 3

    Stay inside the service area.

    Roads and marked lanes only, never pavements.

  4. Step 4

    Park, then end the trip.

    Finish in a marked parking zone, upright and clear of doorways. The trip charges until you end it in the app.

Zones

Four kinds of zone.

  • Service area

    Trips start and end inside it.

  • Parking zones

    The only place a trip may end.

  • Slow zones

    The scooter caps its own speed.

  • No-ride zones

    Dismount and push.

Safety

Rules, not suggestions.

  • Wear a helmet.
  • One rider per scooter.
  • 18 or older, with valid identification.
  • Never ride under the influence of alcohol, or of medication that affects your concentration or alertness.
  • Give way to pedestrians.
  • Roads and marked lanes only.
  • Stay visible after dark.
  • Report a fault instead of riding on.

Local rules

Local rules.

  • Service area. Ride and end trips inside the marked Damascus service area only.

The rider app

One app, whole trip.

Find, unlock, ride, park, report. Arabic and English.

The MASHI rider app is not in the stores yet.
