High quality bikes at low prices
On BikUp, you'll find both professional rental shops and everyday people renting out their bikes to make a little extra money. These are often high-quality bikes at surprisingly low prices!
Protection during rentals
Peace of mind for every ride: you're fully covered and supported from start to finish when you rent on BikUp. Rental agreement, security deposit, insurance, customer support: everything is in place to keep you protected!
Real environmental impact
You choose to rent a bike rather than buy it: BRAVO! Although less polluting than a car, an underused bike pollutes much more than a rental bike that is being used!
Created by and for bike lovers
BikUp was born in the minds of cyclists. The goal: to make cycling accessible, which is initially 'a sport for the rich'. Indeed, the entry cost to get equipped is prohibitive. So think about renting rather than buying!
