Booking process

We offer reservations on our website. This way you can be sure to get the bike you want and we can adjust it directly to your measurements. If you decide spontaneously, you can also visit our bike rental at any time.

If you rent a bike, you will receive additional equipment when you pick it up so that you are equipped for the ride. This includes a bicycle helmet, lights, pump, lock and an extra inner tube. You can also have your own equipment such as saddle or pedals installed. It is best to inform us in advance and we will install the parts free of charge. In addition, our customers receive a bottle of water and a bar.

We don’t expect much so that you can get started quickly with the tours. Just have an ID or passport ready. We also need the booking confirmation and the rental amount stated on the confirmation invoice.

Payment for the bikes is made at the time of pick-up. We accept payment in cash and by credit card or debit card.

You do not have to pay a deposit with us. However, we expect you to treat your bike with respect. In case of theft or serious damage, the customer is liable up to the price of the bike, depending on the damage. 

The bikes can only be picked up at our locations. Please find out which shop is closest to you and contact us for reservations in advance.

Reservations are only possible online on our website or in the shop.
