Meeting up
How the halfway spot works, what to bring, and paying at the handover.
Start to finish
Four steps
Agree it in the app
Settle the bike, the price or the cash on top in the chat.
Pick a spot
The app suggests a spot halfway between you. Or pick your own, like a petrol station.
Bring the paperwork
The logbook or proof of purchase, the keys and the service history.
Pay at the handover
Look the bike over, then pay face to face and hand over the keys.
The halfway spot
When you agree a deal, the app suggests a spot halfway between you, so neither of you rides further than the other. If somewhere else suits you both better, pick your own, like your local petrol station.
What to bring
Bring what the other rider will want to see.
- The logbook or proof of purchase
- The keys, including any spares
- The service history
Paying face to face
You pay at the handover, face to face. For a swap with cash on top, the cash on top is paid at the handover too.
- The app doesn’t take a deposit or hold any money
- Safe Swap, coming soon, lets you pay in the app through Stripe
