About Spinlister

How it works for people listing: 1) Members easily sign up through our web platform, iOS app, or Android app. 2) They list their bicycles, skis, snowboards, SUPs, or surfboards with real photos, to rent to likeminded people worldwide. They set their own price, which they can also adjust per rental. 3) Users searching for equipment in their area request to rent for specified days and times. Listers can easily turn down an offer if the agreement doesn’t work for them. 4) Money is transferred securely prior to pick up, eliminating any uncomfortable conversations or non-payment. 5) Every bike listed is insured up to $5,000, skis/snowboards $1,000, and SUPs/surfboards $2,000 against theft or damage, making the experience completely safe for every person listing their gear. Both renters and listers can review each other and become verified through Facebook, Twitter, and cell phone. How it works for the renter: 1) Users search for bikes, skis, snowboards, SUPs, or surfboards in the area they wish to rent. 2) They view the equipment available in that area and make a request to rent the ride. 3) There is an in-app chat feature allowing both parties to communicate about price, components, verifications, reviews, etc. Once the lister decides they will rent the equipment to the person requesting, they “confirm” the request. 4) Renter pays for the rental and picks up their equipment at the negotiated time and place.

Great Service I have used spinlister twice and had a GREAT experience. It is a service that needs more support to grow the base- I would use it more if there were bikes available, especially when I travel.

New owners, company not the same I have been renting my spare bikes on Spinlister for many years and had good customer service in the past. Since the website was purchased by the new owners their customer service has gone downhill. I still list on the app for one of my side gigs, but the company is not the same since the new owners took over.

Great...eventually I tried using Spinlister for a trip last year and the person whose bicycle I asked to rent never replied. I had the same experience this year. But then the Spinlister desk got in touch, gave me a coupon, and encouraged me to try again, which I did. Third try was the charm -- great bike at the right price. Happy ending.

Great website and great service I've only used Spinlister once, when I went to New York (Brooklyn) for a week last summer. I found a bike that was totally affordable for the week, though it was in pretty poor condition. (You get what you pay for, right?) I would definitely use this again for another trip and will likely put my spare bike on the site to rent, once I've tuned it up a bit.

Fantastic ride I had an awesome time using Spinlister in SF. My only current issue is the lack of protections for riders. At this point, it seems like there's no recourse or protection in the case of a stolen bike - even if it was locked properly and you took precautions. It'd be great to have the option to opt into some insurance during the reservation. I ended up feeing a bit worried the whole trip and hoping something crazy didn't happen with the bike.
