*NOTE: E-bikes feature a small electrical engine and battery that assist and ease your pedaling but you still have to pedal yourself. While riding an e-bike can greatly contribute to the enjoyment of your trip, it is not intended for untrained cyclists as it is not easy to handle such a bike. The engine and battery make the bike much heavier than a regular bike and it also accelerates faster. Handling it well requires good basic cycling skills and confidence.
Accessories
All bikes are equipped with a pannier bag. These are considered waterproof, however, please note that we can’t be held responsible or any damage that might be caused to any personal belongings like mobile phones, cameras etc. Helmets are available in limited numbers so these must be reserved in advance.

The tag-along-bike attaches to the seat post of a mature rider and is easily switched to another bike in case others wish to have a go at pulling. A child-friendly gear system allows the child to change their gears accordingly to the terrain so that it can support the puller. These trailer bikes are available for children between 4 and a maximum of 8 years.
- For children up to 4 years (22 km), TÜV certified children’s seats are available and can attach effortlessly to the back of the adult rental bikes.
