If you have any questions regarding our vehicles or our subscription, please message our Concierge from inside the Dance App or email us directly at concierge@dance.co. Additionally, you can find answers to common questions below.
Dance is a subscription electric mobility service. Your monthly membership fee provides you with your own ebike or emoped and access to our Concierge Team, who repair and maintain your vehicle at no additional charge and as quickly as within 24 hours.
Unlike traditional ownership or shared services, Dance gives you the advantages of having your own ride, with the flexibility of a membership you can turn on and off when you want.
Memberships are flexible at Dance, and include your own eride alongside signature service from our Concierge Team.
Our current prices for Germany and Austria are as follows:
Ebikes start at €49/month for a yearly subscription or €79/month for a flexible subscription
Mopeds start at €79/month for a yearly subscription or €119/month for a flexible subscription
Regular pricing for the yearly subscriptions will reactivate later in 2022:
Ebikes will start at €59/month and mopeds will start at €89/month for a yearly subscription
Our current prices for France are as follows:
Ebikes start at €49/month for a yearly subscription or €79/month for a flexible subscription
Mopeds start at €149/month for a yearly subscription or €179/month for a flexible subscription
Accessories for mopeds: helmet for €9.99/month, topcase for €9.99/month, long range battery for €14.99/month
Accessories for ebikes: basket for €2/month
During the signup process, choose your preferred delivery date, time and address. At your delivery time, our operations team will deliver your eride to you, no assembly required.
Dance makes choosing a greener commute easy. Instead of investing in an ebike or emoped with high upfront costs and bearing the responsibility of maintaining it, you simply subscribe to an eride on a monthly basis. And unlike sharing services, you get your own vehicle instead of relying on companies placing vehicles in your area.
You can turn membership on and off, and the subscription comes with delivery and maintenance. All communication is done through the powerful and easy Dance app, which also gives members insights into their rides: speed, distance and how much carbon dioxide they would have used if they had chosen a traditional car trip. Dance members can choose between an ebike or an emoped.
Dance works with the online payment platform Stripe on secure payments. We support all major credit/debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. As we expand globally, additional options will become available.
Dance erides have a removable battery and charger that come with your delivery. The charger works with all standard outlets and will allow you to charge your battery in your home or office, wherever is most convenient for you.
Charging the battery from empty to full takes approximately three hours for ebikes and seven hours for emopeds.
For best performance, we recommend each ebike is only used with one mobile phone at a time. We're looking into ways to easily allow members to share access to their ebikes with friends/family and will share more should that feature become available.
As per our terms and conditions, commercial use of the Dance ebike is not permitted. However, businesses interested in potentially offering Dance to their employees can learn more here.
For ebikes, we provide an optional mobile phone mount; also, there's an optional back basket, with an additional 2 Euro/month charge. For emopeds, you can choose to add a long-range battery (lasts up to 70km), helmet, or top-case to your Dance subscription. We do not recommend adding additional accessories, and damage from them could incur additional fees. Select child seats are approved for use with Dance ebikes, but must be purchased and installed by members. Dance has tested many child seat models for compatibility, safety and fit with our custom-built frame. We'll be adding to this list in the future so feel free to check back in.
The following rear frame mount child seats are currently approved for use with the Dance One ebike:
Thule Yepp Nexxt Maxi (frame mount)
Please note: No rack mount child seats or front child seats are approved.
At this time, we do not recommend hauling trailers or carts with the Dance One. However, we are considering other accessories for future models.
At this time, we do not offer spare batteries for the Dance ebike or emoped. However, the removable battery typically only takes three hours to reach a full charge from 0%. The battery charges faster if it is not depleted.
You can arrange for repairs on the Dance app. Next, lock your vehicle in an outside area that is accessible, but still secure. A mechanic will then locate your bike with your instructions and repair it within 24 hours on weekdays, with weekends and holidays taking up to 48 hours. Please note: you will not be able to use your vehicle once you've booked a repair, but you do not need to be present during the repair. Please note that you may incur a fee if you book a repair but your vehicle is unable to be reached.
No. Our mechanics can unlock your ebike or emoped remotely so you do not need to be present for a repair as long as you lock the vehicle in an accessible area, such as a public bike rack. You will receive an email and push notification once your eride is fixed and ready to go.
Please do not repair your Dance eride on your own or bring it to an unlicensed shop. To fully benefit from our replacement and repair service, all repairs and replacements need to be done by Dance mechanics. Simply book a repair through the app and one of our mechanics will be with you.
Your Dance erides come with their own locks and we recommend you always secure your eride safely. You are also welcome to use your own locks for additional security, but our mechanics are only able to service the Dance lock. When you book a repair, please ensure you do not have your personal locks on your emoped or ebike, otherwise the mechanic will not be able to service your ride.
Yes, you can use your own tire pump. Our tires use a standard car valve and should be pumped to a pressure of 3 bar.
The Dance ebike and emoped batteries are removable and only accessible via a lock. When you park, we recommend you take out the battery and keep it with you.
Though battery life will vary due to factors such as road conditions and temperature, a full charge for the Dance ebike should last about 55 kms. For the Dance Moped, the range can vary from 40 to 70 kms.
At this time, the handlebar is not adjustable, but the ebike seat is.
We've been pleased by the interest in Dance and are not able to welcome everyone just yet. As of Spring 2022, we are expanding our service area in Berlin and Hamburg, and launching in Munich, Vienna and Paris. As soon as new vehicles and markets become available, we will let you know if you've joined the waitlist!
More cities will launch in the future.
At this time we do not offer trial or test rides, but you can sign up for a vehicle and try Dance membership during onboarding. If you don't want it, you don't have to keep it and you don't need to pay any fees—just tell our concierge team.
We would hate to see you go, and please let us know if you change your mind! To cancel, tap Settings in the Dance app and select Cancel membership. The app will then guide you through the steps to prepare your vehicle for pickup.
Your membership is paid month-to-month and starts when you receive, not reserve, your eride. For example, if you receive your ebike or emoped on February 15 you can cancel your subscription without incurring an additional month until March 14, otherwise the subscription extends until April 14.
To subscribe to Dance, simply sign up on our website and when an ebike or emoped is available, we'll need your payment details—no contract or commitment required. You'll only be billed as long as you're an active member. You can manage your subscription in the Dance app, under Subscription. For those who prefer a yearly contract, we have that option too, and provide a lower rate.
In the Settings section of the Dance app, tap Subscription. Here, you'll see your next billing date. Cancel before that date to avoid future charges.
In order to reserve your eride with us, Dance will place a hold on the credit card provided for the first monthly membership fee after the online checkout process. When you receive the bike, you'll be charged the monthly membership fee moving forward. For some credit card providers, the hold will appear as a charge on the monthly statement. Please work with your credit card provider first for any questions about billing.
Yes. The forfait mobilité durable (sustainable mobility package) is a scheme that incentivizes the use of sustainable transport. Employers can choose to subsidize employees’ travel costs if they commute with certain vehicles. The FMD covers Dance ebike & moped subscriptions.
If you work in the private sector and your company has registered for the FMD, you can get up to €600 per year towards your Dance subscription. If you work in the public sector, you can claim up to €200.
If your company doesn’t currently offer the FMD, we encourage you to request it. For businesses, FMD payments are exempt from tax and social security contributions. To learn more about FMD, visit the government website.
Your membership includes repairs, delivery, maintenance and part replacements. In case of theft, you only pay a small deductible, and Dance charges fees for maintenance no-shows and the replacement of accessories. Find the full list of fees here for e-bikes and here for mopeds.
Message the concierge immediately on the Dance app and let us know your eride may have been stolen. Include the following information: where you last parked, when you last saw your eride and when you last used it. We will immediately start investigating and let you know about the next steps.
Here are our top tips for enjoying a safe ride:
Wear a helmet: It’s the smart thing to do.
Charge and secure the battery: Having a full charge will make sure your ride is joyful and easy.
Check the brakes: Like a true cycling pro, make sure you test the brakes before every ride.
Keep aware of your surroundings: Biking on city streets means there are cars, other cyclists and pedestrians to keep track of. Make sure you follow the rules of the road and ride safely!
Lock your eride: Keep your eride secure by locking it correctly, using racks and appropriate parking spots.
Dance ebikes are designed in Germany and adhere to German safety standards/regulations. The Dance Moped is manufactured and tested by NIU, a leading mobility company that follows industry best practices for testing and safety.
Membership to Dance includes theft protection, subject to certain deductibles (see list for ebikes here and list for mopeds here).
In addition, our emoped subscription includes mandatory liability insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung).
Dance collects contact information for authentication and billing purposes. We also leverage location information to support the app experience and theft recovery, while using diagnostics and usage data to improve the products. We use security and privacy best practices.

The existing customer may not distribute the personal invitation link publicly or have it distributed. Dissemination shall be deemed public if the existing customer uses communication channels and media without individual reference (Examples: YouTube, WhatsApp groups, podcasts, messenger channels, mass emails, online forums, voucher websites).
The invited new customer becomes a customer of Dance by clicking on the invitation link and also going through the registration process.
