Be careful of Peacecle

Here are two points to keep in mind when using Peacecle.

Can I borrow 2 cars?

It seems that it is not possible to rent two at the same time because it is managed by the registration ID.

Reference: Docomo Bike Share Service【FAQ】

Did you forget to return it??

If the port is locked, there are cases where it is automatically returned every 15 minutes, so so there are cases where the return has been completed.
*Automatic return may not be possible when the car is full or the signal is poor, so it is better to return the bike in advance!!
