2. A valid credit card or debit card;
3. A smartphone with internet connection (Android or iOS);
4. And the SKOK app
You can still register if you have a non-EU driver’s license. The verification process, however, cannot be completed via the SKOK app. You will need to call our Customer Engagement Centre on +371 27008118. You can also reach us via the Skok App.
To use a SKOK you must be at least 18 years of age, hold a valid driver’s license that entitles you to drive a Moped in your country of origin (Class B at least) and have a debit or credit card for billing purposes.
After downloading the iOS or Android app to your smartphone, you can follow the in-app instructions. The app will prompt you to take a picture of your driver’s license, as well as a selfie.. The verification process is automated and you will receive an SMS with the result of the verification process. This normally takes no more than 5 minutes. If the automatic verification will not be successful, you are kindly asked to contact our User Service on support@skoksharing.com, sending images of your documents for manual verification.
SKOK commits to the protection of the privacy of all visitors to our website and users of the SKOK Service. Your personal data is stored in Europe and is only accessible by SKOK and licensed partners. If you would like to know more about how your data is handled and processed, please see our Privacy Policy https://www.skoksharing.com/privacy-policy.
You have the option to pay with either a debit card or credit card. The cost for each ride will be charged to your account immediately after you finish your rental. You can check the time, distance and price of your ride on the app. An invoice giving you details of the rental and cost will be send immediately by email to the email account your provided in your registration process.
You can change your payment method within the SKOK app by tapping on the Add Payment Method in the Payments Tab. If your account has any outstanding payments, you will only be allowed to change your payment method if the outstanding amounts are first settled.
Of course you can! We know that it is difficult to part ways with our SKOK. It is best to use the Pause function in our app as it will save you a lot of money when keeping your SKOK. With the Pause function you only pay for 0.05 EUR/minute and the eScooter is kept reserved for you. Just be careful to monitor the battery level. If you need some rest, just park it in one of our parking areas.
Any existing additional costs relate to penalties due to damage to the eScooters, traffic offences, etc. A full list of our fees and penalties can be found in our Terms & Conditions Annex 1.

No you cannot. The SKOK service team is taking care of our eScooters. When the battery level drops below 20%, the SKOK will be taken out of the system once you have returned it.

Therefore, please make sure that the eScooters has sufficient charge for your trip, including its return to one of our parking areas.
The eScooters can be parked in free public parking spaces. Make sure not to place the eScooter on sand, grass, cobblestone road, in a bike lane, bus lane or in a location where it creates an obstruction for traffic or pedestrians. You should also refrain from blocking driveways, loading zones, entrances and parking the eScooter on private property and yards.
