An easy guide to renting an electric bike in Venice

If you’re looking for a sustainable, low-impact way to see Venice and Santa Monica, electric bike rental is the way to go. Many hotels in Venice offer bike rentals, but if yours doesn’t, don’t be deterred. You can rent from Boneshaker Electric Bikes instead and be on your way in no time. 

Below we give a few pointers on the bike rental process, and what you should consider before renting. 

• What type of riding are you going to do?

We carry a wide range of bikes to suit all sizes and riding styles. If you’re going to be adventurous, then we highly recommend an electric bike with full front and rear suspension but if you’re planning on riding over flat terrain, then a hardtail will be fine.  If you are worried we might not have the right bike for you, don’t be: our friendly and professional staff will be on hand to help.

• Personal Safety

Obviously there are some people who come here with just a backpack and you can rent a helmet or shoes or stuff like that. But think about bringing your own helmet and knee pads if you’re going to be riding technical terrain.

• Insurance 

Electric bikes are fun and easy to use, but they are also expensive. So the best way to ensure you’re covered for any accidents that may occur is to purchase insurance before you rent. That way, if you get into an accident while riding one just to make sure your personal belongings are protected in case of damage or theft.

• Guided Tour

Whilst it’s very easy to simply hire, ride and be self-sufficient in most places, some sites are best discovered with a guide. So if you want to do some mountain biking, then we recommend getting a guide to get the very best out of the area.

• Rates

At Boneshaker Electric Bikes, we believe that everyone should have access to our electric bikes. That’s why we offer competitive bike rental fees, so that you can get the most out of your experience with us.
