THE GEAR

Light city bikes and long‑range e‑assist

Choose a StepThru or StepOver city bike for an easy, efficient ride, or opt for a 48V 500W Bafang mid‑drive e‑bike with a stated range between 75 km and 93 km to cover longer loops without breaking a sweat.

THE RIDE

Comfort and control across urban routes

E‑scooters include suspension and simple controls for smooth cruising; the bike fleet is tuned for comfortable city riding so you can enjoy dedicated bike routes and neighbourhood streets at your own pace.

THE POLICY

Flexible half‑day window with an automatic upgrade

The Half‑Day Rental covers up to six hours of riding; if you stay out longer the rental is automatically upgraded to a Full‑Day Rental and you pay the difference when you return the equipment.

Rentals are designed to get you rolling without fuss and to keep the focus on moving through urban scenery comfortably.
