Frequently Asked Questions

How many bikes do I need for a rental shop?

Start with enough bikes to handle your peak day demand plus 20% for bikes in maintenance. A shop serving 25 average daily customers with 3-hour rentals over a 10-hour day needs roughly 15-20 bikes. It's better to start lean and add bikes as demand proves consistent.

What mix of bike types should I stock?

It depends on your location. Beach and boardwalk shops: 60% cruisers, 30% e-bikes, 10% kids. City/urban: 50% hybrids, 40% e-bikes, 10% road. Mountain/trail areas: 60% mountain, 30% e-mountain, 10% kids. E-bikes are growing everywhere and typically have higher daily rates.

How much revenue can a single rental bike generate?

A standard bike renting at $15/hour for an average of 3 hours, 5 times per week, over a 7-month season generates roughly $6,300 per year. E-bikes at $25/hour can generate $10,000+. At these rates, bikes typically pay for themselves within their first season.
