Frequently asked questions about e-bike rental in Berlin
What types of e-bikes can I rent in Berlin?

Depending on the model, the bikes use motors ranging from the Bosch Active Line Plus to the Bosch Performance Line CX. All e-bikes have powerful 500 Wh batteries.
How far can I ride on one battery charge?
The range depends on several factors, including the support level, riding style, route, terrain, temperature and weather.
As a general guide:
- Eco mode: up to 150 km
- Tour mode: up to 90 km
- Turbo mode: up to 60 km
One battery charge is normally sufficient for most day trips in and around Berlin.
For rentals of more than 24 hours, a charger is included free of charge. For shorter rentals, we can also provide a charger on request.
How long does it take to charge an e-bike battery?
A completely empty battery usually takes around four to five hours to charge fully.
Are locks included in the e-bike rental price?
Yes. Every e-bike is supplied with two locks so that you can secure it properly during your trip.
Can I take out theft protection for the e-bike?
Yes. Additional theft protection is available for €5 per rental day. – This reduces your excess in the event of theft from €1,000 to €500.
For example, the additional protection for a one-week e-bike rental costs €25 in total.
You can add the theft protection when booking or when collecting the e-bike.
