Half-Day eBike Rental
We love to show off the Boulder that we know and love, but if you prefer to explore the area on your own, we do rentals too.
- Create your own adventure!
- Freedom to explore Boulder at your pace
- Pedal-Assisted eBike (with throttle!)
- Route suggestions provided by local experts
Whether you want to experience Boulder the way it's meant to be seen -- via eBike -- or you're eBike-curious and ready to try one out for yourself -- or both! -- this is a great way to do it. Rent by the half-day or full-day.
Our rental fleet includes several styles of eBikes that feel like they're built for Boulder, including the Rad City and Rad City Step-Thru Commuter Bikes, RadRunner+ and RadWagon Utility Bikes. And, if small children are part of your group, we've got a kid caboose for them.
These comfortable, well-maintained bikes feature electronic pedal-assist -- whenever you turn the cranks, you're going to get a nice, smooth boost from the bike. Whether it's a little or a lot is for you to decide, but you will pretty quickly discover the incredible fun in riding these amazing machines.
All eBike Rentals include Rad Power Bike, helmet, bottled water, bike lock and suggestions for where to ride and things to do along the way.
With a half-day eBike rental you can easily reach* many of Boulder's best-known highlights, including the CU campus and NCAR, as well as:
- Chautauqua/The Flatirons
- Boulder Canyon
- Eben G. Fine Park
- Dushanbe Teahouse
- Pearl St Mall
- Boulder Creek Path
*What and how much you actually see is based on a number of factors including: the route you choose, group speed and pace, frequency and duration of breaks/stops, weather conditions, etc.
