Our rentals are unique for three reasons: local immersion, hassle-free, and quality. We immerse renters into Cleveland culture. We rent our e-bikes on Cleveland's most scenic trails (including the Towpath, Lakefront Bikeway, and Redline Greenway) and around Cleveland's trendiest neighborhoods (like Ohio City, Tremont, Gordon Square, the Flats, and Downtown). And we provide local insights into the best stops (restaurants and landmarks) along your ride. Our rentals are hassle-free because we deliver the e-bike(s) to you at the beginning of your rental, and we pick the e-bike(s) up at the end. If anything goes wrong along the way, we meet you to get you back on your way. Finally, our rentals are quality. Each rental includes a Lectric XP 3.0 electric bicycle, a helmet, a bike lock, and a trail map with our recommendations on where to visit during your ride.
