Magnum Low Rider 2.0 — designed for long-range rides

For travelers who want an extended, self-directed riding experience, this 13-day electric bike rental offers a fleet of Magnum Low Rider 2.0 e-bikes built for range and comfort. The supplier notes up to a 50-mile range on a single charge and a Low Step-Thru frame that makes mounting simple for riders between 5'2" and 6'6".
