- Visit https://i.carolbike.com and click the "Forgot Password?" link located just above the login button.
- Follow the on‑screen prompts to begin account recovery.
- Reset password via the mobile app

- Google Play listing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dinamexoft.carol.app
- Open the app and select the forgotten password / account recovery option on the sign‑in screen.
Refreshing login credentials on the bike (profile cache issues)
- If you see messages that indicate a profile cache or login issue on the bike:
- On the bike’s sign‑in screen tap the "+" sign (Add new user) in the bottom right corner.
- Enter your username or email and your password to log in as a new user.
- This action will refresh your login credentials and should clear the profile cache, allowing you to sign in and start rides.
Troubleshooting tips
- If the password reset option is not immediately visible on the bike, use the plus (+) icon at the bottom right to reveal it.
- Use the web portal "Forgot Password?" link if you prefer to reset from a browser.
- Use the mobile app recovery flow if you have the phone app installed or prefer mobile recovery.
- When resetting credentials away from the bike, log in as a new rider profile instead of using the existing cached profile.
Renewing membership from the bike console (after regaining access)
- Membership renewals must be done from the bike console (not the website).
- After logging in on the bike:
- Tap the icon with your initials at the top right.
- Select "User preferences".
- At the bottom of the User preferences window select "Renew" to open Membership activation options
- Choose your preferred option and enter your credit card information to complete renewal.
- Ensure you have a stable Wi‑Fi connection so payment can be processed by the payment center.
- To cancel membership from the bike console, follow the same path and select "Cancel" or remobe your billing details.
Use the bike console, web portal, or mobile app password recovery flows to reset your password. If the bike displays a cached profile error, add a new user via the "+" icon and sign in with your credentials to refresh the cache. Once you can sign in on the bike, membership renewals and cancellations are managed from Preferences → Manage → Membership Options.
