THE PICKUP

Simple pickup at Black Rock Storage

THE GEAR

Add-ons such as crates and bike lights (including ‘monkey lights’) are available, and riders are encouraged to personalize bikes with nonpermanent decorations — provided they are removed before return.

THE ENDGAME

At the close of the rental window there’s a clear choice: return the bike or purchase it for a set fee; policies around loss, theft and cleaning are enforced at checkout.

What the day feels like

What the week feels like

The rhythm is straightforward: claim your e-bike at Black Rock Storage, outfit it with lights or crates and your own temporary decorations, and move through the festival environment with the freedom an electric assist provides. When the event ends, you can either hand the bike back or make it yours.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental works for — and who should think twice.

1
Festival AttendeesWell suited: riders who want mobility and the ability to customize a bike for festival use during the weeklong window.
2
Families & All AgesAppropriate for a broad age range — the offering is listed as all ages for the August 25–September 2 period — but guardians should supervise younger riders.
3
Decorators & DIYersA good match for those who like to personalize: nonpermanent decorations are allowed, but must be removed prior to return or a cleaning fee will be charged.
4
Cautious RentersLess ideal for travelers who want no liability: loss, theft and damage carry financial consequences that will be charged to the card on file.
