  • Pick-up is a staffed shop at 4 Rue du Faubourg-de-Saverne, a few minutes' walk from Strasbourg station — no station hunting, no app, no docking.

Classic bike or e-bike?

Strasbourg's centre is flat, so a classic bike is usually all you need. Take the electric one when the day gets long or the route leaves the city.

Three rides that work perfectly on a classic bike

All flat, all inside or just outside the city, all on protected cycle paths.

Grande Île and Petite France

The cathedral, the covered bridges and the canal locks in a slow two-hour loop. Cobbles in places — take it gently.

The Ill towpaths to Orangerie

Follow the water east through the European district to Strasbourg's oldest park. Almost entirely car-free.

Robertsau forest

Flat gravel and shade all the way to the Rhine floodplain forest, about an hour out of the centre.

Questions about classic bike rental

Which is the best bike rental in Strasbourg?
That depends on what you need. Vélhop is the city's public station service and is cheapest for short trips if you are happy to find a station and dock. VeloRouge is a staffed shop at 4 Rue du Faubourg-de-Saverne rated 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Google reviews, where a classic city bike is €18 for 8 hours and an e-bike €29, always with a helmet, a lock and a route map included and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up. If you want a bike handed to you, ready and adjusted, with someone to ask about routes, that is what we do.
Is VeloRouge good? What do customers say?
VeloRouge holds a 5.0 out of 5 rating from 40 Google reviews and also rents through GetYourGuide and Lokki. Reviewers most often mention the bikes being clean and ready on arrival, the helmets and locks being included rather than upsold, and the route advice at the counter. The reviews are on our public Google Business Profile, so you can read them before booking.
Do you rent normal bicycles, not just e-bikes?
Yes. The classic city bike is a normal pedal bicycle with no motor, €18 for a full 8 hours, with helmet, lock and route map included. It is the same shop, the same address and the same booking system as our e-bikes.
How much does it cost to rent a bike in Strasbourg?
At VeloRouge a classic city bike is €18 for 8 hours and an electric bike is €29 for a half day of 8 hours or €39 for 24 hours. Multi-day electric rentals are €75 for 2 days, €89 for 3 days and €145 for 7 days. Helmet and lock are always included.
Do I need to leave a deposit or ID?
We take a piece of ID at the counter and return it when you bring the bike back. Payment is taken online at booking or in the shop — free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before pick-up.
Can I keep the bike for several days?
Yes. Multi-day rates are published for electric bikes; for a classic bike over several days, call or message us at +33 6 30 77 09 94 and we'll quote you directly.
Is a classic bike enough to see Strasbourg?
For the centre, yes — the Grande Île, Petite France, the European district and the parks are all flat and connected by protected cycle paths. Choose the electric bike if you plan to ride out to the Alsace vineyards or along the Rhine.
