Bike Rental & Tours Shop

Bike rental shops provide bicycle rentals, e-bikes, and guided tours serving tourists and locals in destination areas.

With bike tourism growing 15%+ and e-bikes exploding, shops generate revenue of $130,000-$410,000 with 50-70% margins on rentals.

The business requires bike fleet (30-80 bikes), retail space, maintenance tools, and insurance.

Services include traditional bike rentals, e-bike rentals, guided tours, bike sales, repairs, and multi-day packages.

Pricing typically $25-$60 per day for bike, $50-$100 for e-bike.

Success factors include tourist-accessible location, quality fleet maintenance, e-bike offering, guided tour experiences, and online booking.

Most combine rentals with retail and tours.

Marketing focuses on hotels, Airbnb, tourism boards, and Google.

With bike tourism thriving in 2025, rental shops offer pedal-powered opportunities.
