bFlex Expands to Italy, Bringing Bike Sales, Rentals, Leasing and Tours Into One Marketplace

Co-funded by the European Union and backed by Lars Rasmussen (co-founder of Googlemaps), Investing For Purpose and Helidoni Group, bFlex is opening its e-mobility marketplace to Italian vendors and customers. Four Italian companies have already signed up.

Athens, Greece / Rome, Italy, [Date] , bFlex, the European e-mobility marketplace for bike rentals, bike leasing, bike sales and guided bike tours, announces its expansion into Italy. The platform now enables customers in Italy to buy bikes, rent bikes locally, lease bikes for longer-term use and book guided cycling tours through one online marketplace.

The expansion into Italy marks another step in bFlex’s mission to make sustainable mobility more accessible across Europe. Four Italian companies have already joined the platform, showing early demand from local bike shops, rental operators, tour providers and e-mobility vendors.

bFlex brings together four key bike services in one digital marketplace:

Rent • Lease • Buy • Tour

Through bFlex Italy, customers can discover and access multiple bike-related services in one place. They can rent bikes in Italian cities and tourist destinations, buy new or secondhand bikes from participating vendors, lease bikes for monthly use and book guided bike tours from local operators.

For Italian bike companies, e-bike shops, rental operators, tour providers, hotels and mobility vendors, bFlex offers a new digital sales channel without fixed monthly costs. Vendors can create a free account, list their products and services and use bFlex’s booking, payment and fleet management tools. Vendors only pay commission when they generate revenue through the platform.

“Italy is a very strong market for bFlex,” said Robbert van der Meer, Founder of bFlex. “The country has world-class tourism, beautiful cycling destinations, strong local bike businesses and increasing demand for sustainable mobility. At the same time, bike rentals, bike sales, leasing and cycling tours are still often spread across different providers and systems. bFlex brings these services together in one marketplace, making it easier for customers to find bikes and easier for vendors to grow.”

bFlex is co-funded by the European Union and backed by Lars Rasmussen, co-founder of Google Maps, Investing For Purpose and Helidoni Group. This support helps bFlex continue building digital infrastructure for a more accessible and sustainable e-mobility ecosystem in Europe.

The platform is designed for both established bike companies and smaller local operators. An Italian vendor can use bFlex as an additional online sales channel or manage multiple revenue streams through one account, including bike rentals, monthly bike leasing, bike sales and guided cycling tours.

By combining marketplace exposure, online payments, booking tools and fleet management software, bFlex helps Italian vendors reach more customers while making sustainable mobility easier to access for locals, tourists and businesses.

Italian vendors can join bFlex through the vendor page and start listing their products and services online.
