Bike Rental Service

Designing how Airbnb could integrate bike rental into its ecosystem.
Overview & Problem

Airbnb is exploring opportunities beyond accommodation, expanding its offering into mobility experiences. This project focuses on how bike rental could be integrated into the platform.


Renting a bike in a new city often requires switching between multiple apps, locations and payment systems. This fragmented experience interrupts the flow of exploration and limits spontaneity while travelling.

Challenge

â—‹ Integrate bike rental into Airbnb as an extension of the travel experience


â—‹ Make bike availability easy to find and assess in real time


â—‹ Support spontaneous decisions by showing nearby bikes and suggested routes

My role

â—‹ Led the end-to-end design process, from research (Benchmarking, desk research and in-depth interviews), interaction design to final prototype


â—‹ Defined the sitemap and user flows based on key insights


â—‹ Designed the interface, components and interaction patterns

Insights

Research highlighted four behaviours that shaped the experience:


â—‹ Users seek autonomy, but still need a sense of security

They want control over the experience, but still need to feel confident before making a decision.


â—‹ Friction in the process reduces conversions

If the process feels long or complicated, users are less likely to rent a bike.


â—‹ Speed and clarity influence decisions
Users decide quickly when information is easy to scan and compare.


â—‹ Trust signals influence choice
Users rely on ratings and usage to feel confident choosing a bike.

Design approach

A location-based bike rental system integrated into Airbnb, allowing users to discover, book and unlock bikes instantly.

Designed to reduce friction, support quick, on-the-go decisions, and provide a reliable rental experience.

UI Design

â—‹ Discover & decide

Users need quick, scannable information, so nearby bikes and availability are shown directly on the map, enabling fast, in-context decisions. Suggested routes also help users quickly decide where to go and explore the city more easily.


â—‹ Select & book

When the process feels long, users are less likely to continue. The simplified booking flow allows users to quickly choose duration and confirm rental without unnecessary steps.


â—‹ Unlock & ride

Bikes can be unlocked instantly via QR, reducing friction between decision and action.
