Beta · Invite only

Rent amotorcyclefrom someonewho rides.

Kickstand is a new way for motorcycle owners in Sweden to rent their bikes to riders they can trust. We are in beta right now, and you need an invite to get in.

How it works

Three steps, and one of them is riding.

  1. Find a bike that fits you

    Owners list their motorcycles in the app. You see the bikes your licence lets you ride, so there are no surprises later.

  2. Book it in the app

    Pick your dates and book. You and the owner agree on a time and a place to meet.

  3. Meet, take photos, ride

    At pickup you go through the bike together and take five photos in the app. You do the same when you bring it back, so everyone knows what shape the bike was in.

For riders

Ride something different

Try the bike you have been curious about, or rent one for a trip when your own is far away. You rent from a real person who cares about the bike, not from a counter.

For owners

Let your bike earn its keep

Most motorcycles stand still most of the time. Rent yours out on the days you are not riding, to riders who hold the right licence and who were invited by someone already in Kickstand.

The beta

We are still building this. Here is what that means.

Kickstand is in beta. The app works, but it is not finished, and we would rather be honest about that than pretend. If you join now, you are helping us shape it.

  • It is a small group

    Right now Kickstand is open to a limited number of riders and owners in Sweden.

  • Things will change

    Screens move, features come and go, and you will run into bugs. Tell us when you do.

  • Not everything is switched on

    Real payments and rental protection are still being set up. We will tell you clearly before any real money is involved.

  • iPhone for now

    The app runs on iPhone today.

  • Your voice counts

    What you tell us now decides what we build next.

Invite only

You get in through someone who is already in.

Kickstand grows one rider at a time. Every member was invited by another member. That way there is always someone who can say: I know this person, and I would hand them my keys.

  1. Get an invite

    A friend who is already in Kickstand sends you an invite.

  2. Get the app

    Open the invite on your iPhone and download the app. Coming soon.

  3. Pass it on

    Once you are in, you can invite riders and owners you trust.

No invite yet?

Ask around. If someone you ride with is in, they can invite you. If you do not know anyone yet, write to us at support@ridekickstand.com and tell us what you ride.
