Berlin’s flat terrain and extensive cycle network make it ideal for electric bikes, especially if you want to cover more ground with less effort. With flexible rental lengths and a central pickup point, an e-bike is a practical way to link landmarks, parks, and neighbourhoods at your own pace.

After a quick check-in, you’ll be fitted to a pedal-assist e-bike and shown how to use the assistance levels, braking, and display. Staff will also share local route advice and key cycling rules, which helps if you’re new to riding in German cities. Once set up, you’re free to explore independently and manage your time as you like.
Many riders start by following Unter den Linden towards the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag, then cut through the Tiergarten for calmer riding. The e-bike assist makes it easy to keep a steady pace across longer boulevards and bridges without arriving tired.
With longer hires, you can ride further afield to places like the East Side Gallery, follow riverside paths along the Spree, or enjoy wide-open riding at Tempelhof Field. The included lock lets you stop for museums, cafés, or walks whenever you choose.
The pickup point is at the base of the TV Tower in Alexanderplatz, one of Berlin’s main transport hubs. This makes arrival straightforward and puts you directly onto well-marked bike lanes heading in multiple directions.
From here, routes fan out towards central boulevards, large parks, and longer city corridors. It’s a convenient base whether you’re planning a short sightseeing loop or several days of riding.
All riders must be able to ride a bicycle independently and be comfortable controlling speed and balance, as e-bikes accelerate more quickly than standard bikes. While Berlin is bike friendly, you’ll still encounter traffic, junctions, and shared spaces.
E-bike riders must be at least 14 years old, and no guests under 18 will be given a bike without an adult present. Child trailers and tag-along attachments are not permitted on e-bikes. A government-issued photo ID is required as a deposit, and a credit card must be kept on file for bike security.
This rental is built around flexibility and efficiency. E-bikes make longer distances and multi-day exploration easier without turning the day into a workout, which is especially useful if you want to see different parts of the city in one trip.
With quality bikes, included essentials, and a central starting point, the focus is on removing friction. You get clear setup and local guidance, then the freedom to explore Berlin on your own terms.
You don’t need prior e-bike experience, but you should be confident on a standard bike. The pedal-assist is simple to use and will be explained before you set off.
It’s best to start on a low assist level until you’re comfortable with acceleration and braking.
