Practical tips when you hire your e-bike!

How long does the battery last?

Well, that’s perhaps the most difficult question – it depends on how much you use your legs and how much support you choose to get from the battery. There are 5 different power modes, so you can choose the level of assistance you want from the 7-speed e-bikes. If you’re planning to cycle a long distance, why not take the opportunity to stop for lunch or a coffee on the way and ask to charge your battery at the same time? Be prepared to pay a small fee.

 

Children must wear helmets (and we recommend them for adults too)!

In Sweden, all children and young people under 15 years of age must wear a helmet by law when cycling or getting a lift on a bike. A helmet is included when you rent a child’s bike! But why stop at 15? Protect yourself whatever your age and rent a helmet with your bike!

 

Roads and bike routes!

The e-bikes are equipped with ‘normal’ tyres and are suitable for both asphalt and gravel roads. If a road is paved with coarse macadam or rough gravel, it may be advisable to get off and walk to reduce the risk of a flat tire. Around Åsnen, there are several car-free bike routes that are safe choices when cycling with children. Each rental location also includes tips for bike tours and places to visit in the area. Keep in mind that many of the roads are narrow and shared by campers, bicycles, cars and motorcycles; this is particularly important to consider if you are cycling with children.

 

How fast can you go on an e-bike?

If you want to relax, take in your surroundings and enjoy the company of your group, you can expect to travel at about 15 km per hour. This is a similar speed to cycling without battery assistance!

 

What if I get a flat tire?

Renting an e-bike gives you possibilities of assistance in the case of a flat tire or other breakdown. You will receive a contact number with your booking confirmation.

 

How much does it cost?

Prices vary depending on the type of bike you book. These are presented at the various locations where you can rent. You pay by card in connection with the booking. As an exclusively offer for those who book an e-bike in Åsnen this summer, you can buy the nature guide book ‘ÅSNEN – Nature, National Park and Wildlife’ at half price! Here you’ll find exciting hidden gems to visit with your bike!

How do I cancel my booking, and what does it cost?

If you are unable to make your reservation and need to cancel your booking, you must do so at least 48 hours before the booked pick-up time.

If the bike becomes damaged!

Once you have collected your bike, it is your responsibility to take care of it. You will be provided with a lock; you must always lock the bike if you leave it somewhere. It is your responsibility to return the bike in the same condition as you received it. Bikes can be washed at any of the drop-off and pick-up points. In the event that something happens to your bike, you will have to claim on your private home insurance.
