PSOAS Bikes for Exchange students

PSOAS Bikes is a communal bicycle service for shared use that can be activated through the OmaPSOAS portal. Access will be added to tenants’ smartphones after they accept the terms of use on the OmaPSOAS portal. Please review the terms here.

Usage of the bicycle shelter is monitored by an intelligent lock system and camera surveillance. Each bike has its own serial number, and each bike is kept in its own labeled slot in the shelter. Please note that the bikes are intended for exchange students only.

How to Get Access:

  1. Download the iLOQ S50 app from the Google Play Store or the App Store. Your phone must support the NFC feature.
  2. Go to OmaPSOAS and log in. Make sure your phone number is in international format (e.g., for Finland, the country code is +358, followed by the phone number without the first zero).
  3. Select Take PSOAS Bikes into Use and accept the terms of use. This is done in the Forms section. You will get an email about the terms that you have accepted.
  4. Access to the bike shelter will automatically be added to your phone. See the step-by-step guide in the app for operating the lock with your phone. Unlock the bike shelter with your phone. The lock has a follow-up system that records usage.
  5. Choose a bike. Users must acquire their own lock. Lock the bike with your own lock when parking it outside the PSOAS Bike Shelter. Inside the shelter, leave the bike unlocked so that others can use it.
  6. Return the bike to the same slot from which you took it. You will recognize the correct slot by the serial number on the bike.
