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.

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 concept, not a lot of worthwhile users This is a great idea, in theory. But I didn't get a lot of people wanting to rent my bike. The ones that were interested wanted it for only brief periods of time, making it not worth my while to do the legwork of arranging pickup and dropoff. Do I want to exchange multiple emails, multiple text messages, and rendezvous twice so I can pocket fifteen dollars? No. If more people wanted it for a week at a time, it would make more sense.

Great idea, pretty good execution, interface can be confusing The easy communication via text is nice. Trying to update my bikes after I've uploaded them is not very intuitive. I had to edit every single one after moving.

Cool service. I've used this when traveling to other cities. Everything has gone pretty smoothly, and the one hiccup I had once with a bicycle owner was professionally handled by Spinlister. The long and the short of it is that I was asked to lock up the guy's bike in a certain place to leave it for him to come pick up (because my rental was over), and it was stolen because he waited 6 days to pick it up. I explained everything by email to Spinlister and that was that. I'd recommend sending a text picture of the bike locked up if the owner is asking you to lock it up somewhere at the end of the rental.

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.
