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.

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.

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.

Thrilled such a site/service exists. I have only used others' bikes, not rented out my own. I had one snafu with gaining access to a bike in Portland, OR. The owner wasn't overly easy to reach, but it was resolved within an hour.

Great Service! Be sure to screen your renters. Some renters can be flaky or demand too much. Don't bend over backwards for a rental (one person expected me to drive for over an hour to deliver the bikes to a hotel). Other renters are great and completely painless, and these are the majority. Spinlister is great, especially if you live in a densely populated area. Out in the suburbs, it can be a challenge occasionally.

This site is a total joke This site is a total joke. The "renters" don't respond and neither does their "customer service" ......total waste of time.
