Important Guidelines:
E-Bike Rentals (Multi-Day)
- Secure Storage Required:
If you are renting an e-bike for multiple days, it is essential to provide **secure, indoor storage** for the bike overnight. This is particularly important for weather protection and to preserve the battery life.
- Weather Protection & Battery Care:
The e-bike must be kept out of the rain and stored in a dry place when charging. Ensure that the battery port is **closed** after each charging session. Failure to do so may lead to water damage, for which you may be held responsible.
- Check with Your Accommodation:
Before renting an e-bike for multiple days, please check with your hotel or rental property to see if they offer any **storage options**. Secure indoor storage is essential for the safety and maintenance of the e-bike.
Road Bike Rentals:
- Pedals:
Road bikes come with flat pedals or foot baskets as standard. If you use clipless pedals, please bring your own pedals, cleats, and shoes.
Note: We do not provide clipless pedals or cycling shoes.
Shop Hours:
- Closed on Sundays & Mondays:
Our shop is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so rentals are **not available on these days**. Please plan accordingly for your rental needs.
Pick-Up & Drop-Off:
- We do not offer pick-up or drop-off services. Please be sure to come to the shop to pick up and return your rental during our operating hours.

Rental Policies:
- Identification & Deposit:
A valid ID and a credit card deposit are required for all bike rentals. The deposit is fully refundable upon the safe return of the bike in good condition.
- Late Returns:
Late returns may be subject to additional fees. Please return your bike on time to avoid extra charges.
- Damages:
If the bike is returned damaged, you may be liable for repair costs. We recommend checking the bike before you leave to ensure it is in good condition.
