🚲 How to Start a Bike Rental, Tour Guide, or eMobility Shop

1. Understand the Market

The eMobility market in Europe is growing faster than ever. Cities are transforming for cyclists and electric vehicles, and consumers are increasingly choosing eco-friendly transport over cars. Whether it’s daily commuters, leisure riders, or tourists, the demand for bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters is expanding across Europe.

Tourism also plays a key role. In popular destinations like Greece, Italy, and Spain, bike rentals and guided tours are becoming essential experiences for travelers. This makes starting your own bike rental, e-bike shop, or tour business a smart investment with recurring revenue potential.

2. Choose the Right Fleet: Bikes, Scooters, and Micro-Cars

Before launching, decide what kind of vehicles fit your target customers:

• City bikes for commuters and urban riders
• Mountain bikes (MTB) for adventure or rental locations near nature
• Road bikes for fitness-oriented users
• Electric bikes (e-bikes) for urban and leisure rides
• Electric scooters (with or without driver’s license) for short city trips
• Micro-cars for long-distance and premium experiences

To get started affordably, you can join bFlex as a B2B customer and access wholesale prices from top eMobility brands like KTM, Giant, Orient Bikes, and others.

You can either buy your fleet or lease it directly from bFlex — all through our dedicated B2B marketplace.
