Explore Old Montréal with BIXI

Start your ride along De la Commune street in the heart of Old Montréal, and follow the bike path along the St. Lawrence River.

Take in the views of La Grande Roue, the waterfront piers, art galleries, and lively patios.

Stop for a coffee or ice cream, and end your tour at Notre-Dame Basilica or strolling the historic cobblestone streets.

Perfect for a first taste of the city!

Explore the Plateau and Mile End with BIXI

Explore two of Montréal’s most vibrant neighbourhoods!

Start in the Plateau along Mont-Royal Avenue, known for its indie boutiques, cozy cafés, and colourful staircases.

Head west to Mile End — a hub of creativity and culture.

Grab a legendary bagel, browse the vintage shops, or snap pics of incredible murals.

It’s an inspiring and delicious urban ride.

Explore Parc Jean-Drapeau with BIXI

Ride down De la Commune street, pass the iconic Farine Five Roses sign, and cross the Concorde Bridge to reach Parc Jean-Drapeau.

Set on two islands in the middle of the river, this green oasis has kilometres of bike paths to enjoy.

Save your energy with electric BIXIs

Want to go for a long ride without getting tired? To get from one activity to another quickly? Or simply want a different experience while you’re visiting Montréal? That’s what electric BIXIs are for!

Recognizable by their bold blue colour, they automatically adjust pedal assistance to match the effort required — so you get a smooth ride, even uphill.

Find them easily on the app’s map by looking for the bike with lightning bolt icon.

P.S. Did you know BIXI has the largest fleet of self-service electric bikes in Canada? That’s right!

Safety reminder:

  • Helmets are required on electric BIXIs
  • Riders must be 14+ (and hold a Class 6D license if under 18)

FAQ Express

We’ve listed here the questions most frequently asked by visitors who use BIXI. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to consult the Help Center.

You can use the station map on our website or the BIXI app to locate stations throughout the city.

You’ll see available bikes and docks in real-time.

The membership is offered via the BIXI application and our website. Payment is made at the time of purchase. Usage fees for group rides, regular BIXI rides over 45 minutes or electric BIXI rides (if applicable) are billed on the 20th day of the month.

One-way passes are available via the BIXI application and the kiosk at most stations. The unlocking fee is paid at the time of purchase. Usage fees for your ride time are billed the day after your ride.

We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard and AMEX credit cards.

Yes, if you wish. However, this is not the most economical option, as the per-minute rate starts after 45 minutes of regular BIXI travel with a membership and from the first minute of travel with an electric BIXI or a one-way pass.

What’s more, you’ll need to secure the bike at all times to prevent theft.

The $23 membership, which lets you unlock an infinite number of BIXIs without fees and make an unlimited number of trips under 45 minutes, is the most economical and secure option.

When you access the BIXI system with a one-way pass, a pre-authorization of $100 per bike is frozen on your credit card. (If you rent 2 bikes at the same time, the pre-authorization is $200, for 3 bikes, $300 and for 4 bikes, $400).

This is not a charge. It is an amount blocked to guarantee the return of the borrowed bike. The deposit is returned to you within a period that depends entirely on your banking institution.

The approximate period for a pre-authorized deposit on a Canadian credit card to be released is 10 days.
