THE FLEET

Three easy urban options

StepThru and StepOver city bikes offer simple, lightweight frames and easy‑shift gearing for comfortable city riding; the StepThru design also makes mounting and dismounting quicker and easier for many riders.

THE POWER

Pedal‑assist e‑bikes built for longer loops

E‑bikes are pedal‑assist cruisers with a 48V 500W Bafang mid‑drive motor and an advertised range from about 75 km (46.6 mi) up to 93 km (57.8 mi), making them the best choice for longer urban outings with less effort.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Extend as you go

Your booking includes the first hour; you can extend on return and pay the difference—rentals upgrade to two hours for up to 2 hours, become a half‑day (up to 6 hours) after more than 2 hours, and convert to a full‑day after more than 6 hours. Settle any remaining balance when you return the equipment.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

Pick a machine that matches your route and stamina: lightweight city bikes for simple, efficient touring of urban corridors; step‑through e‑bikes for pedal‑assist cruising that stretches range and reduces effort; then ride until you’re ready, extending the rental as needed and returning to settle any balance.
