Electric bikes in Lyon: why choose a rental package?
Taking advantage of an electric bike rental service rather than buying one may be a good way to try out a bike before you buy. Renting an electric bike in Lyon lets you try it out before investing in an expensive model. What's more, renting is an ideal solution for people who don't regularly use a bike for just a few trips a month. Finally, for people who don't want to bother with a personal bike when they travel around Lyon, and who want the services of a mobility professional.
The advantages of a bike ride
Renting a bike is one of the best ways to visit Lyon and the surrounding area. You can discover the city at your own pace, thanks to a range of bike rental options. What's more, Lyon's safe cycle paths are ideal for family outings. Our bikes can be rented by the day or half-day, making them an excellent activity for your stay in Lyon or a weekend outing.
What are the best places to cycle in Lyon?
At Mobilboard, you can choose to rent a bike for free or for a guided tour. If you'd like to go at your own pace, we'll be happy to advise you on the best places to go and the safest, most accessible routes. Have you chosen a guided tour? Follow the guide! We'll help you discover Lyon through our little secrets and anecdotes. Here are just a few of the things you can do in Lyon by bike:
The banks of the Rhône
This is where the ViaRhôna passes through on its way to Geneva or the Mediterranean. The ViaRhône crosses Lyon over 7km from north to south with this beautiful, traffic-free promenade.
Parc de la Tête d'Or
One of our favorite spots. With its 114 hectares of greenery, the Parc de la Tête d'Or is Lyon's green lung. You can stop off to enter the tropical greenhouses, discover the animals in the animal park or stroll through the magnificent rose garden. With Mobilboard, bike locks are included in the rental price, so don't hesitate to stop and take in the sights!
The banks of the Saône
From Île Barbe to Confluence, cycling along the Saône is a must and a particularly pleasant experience. You'll love seeing the different landscapes unfold before you: natural waterside to the north, urban and contemporary to the south. You'll also pass through Vieux-Lyon, one of the city's historic districts and undoubtedly one of its most emblematic.
La Confluence
Formerly an industrial wasteland with a market-train station and the old port of Lyon, today it's a contemporary district with a thousand faces. You'll love cycling here, and even stopping off at the Place Nautique for a relaxing moment with friends or family.
Our top 4 places to visit on an electric bike tour
If you choose to rent an electric bike in Lyon, here are some of our favorite must-see places:
Le Jardin des Curiosités
This little garden on the Fourvière hill is accessible from the Chemin Neuf rise. It offers a magnificent, more unusual view of Lyon.
Fourvière esplanade and basilica
A must-see! You can't come to Lyon without visiting Fourvière. To the left of the basilica, you can enjoy the view from the esplanade. Our electric bike rental packages in Lyon include anti-theft devices. So you can leave your bike next to the basilica and head inside to visit this magnificent monument.
Place Rouville at Croix-Rousse
An incredible view from the Croix-Rousse of the city's rooftops and Fourvière hill. It's one of our favorite views, and one that's a little less well known to visitors. You'll love the atmosphere of the area and the panoramic view over the city.
The Croix-Rousse slopes and Place Colbert
You'll love walking the slopes of the Croix-Rousse and feeling the popular imprint of this neighborhood with its fascinating history. It's also one of Lyon's major street art hotspots, so don't hesitate to look up to see the many works by local and international artists. From Place Colbert, you'll have a lovely view over part of the city, and access to a beautiful traboule! Bicycle racks are located right next door, so you'll have no excuse for visiting Lyon's famous specialty passages.

The F.A.Q. of bike rental in Lyon
What types of bikes do you offer for rental?
We offer very light "Dutch-style" city bikes (without the horizontal top tube) and electric bikes. We don't offer mountain bikes. At Mobilboard, you can also rent a cargo bike (not electric), a trailer, children's bikes and child seats (you have to rent a bike to use a child seat).
Do you offer accessories and equipment?
The anti-theft device and basket are always included in our rental packages. Our helmets are available free of charge (not compulsory for children over 12).
We offer 17.5L touring panniers, puncture-proof bombs and rain jackets for hire, subject to availability. We advise you to book in advance on the website.
What to do in the event of a puncture or breakage?
Our rental packages do not include assistance. In the event of breakage or a puncture: we can't pick you up, so you'll have to make your own way home. We invite you to give us a call so that we can direct you to the easiest way back.
Our bikes are under warranty for each rental. In the event of a breakdown or puncture, repair costs will be invoiced, but you will only be charged the deductible of 10% of these costs.
Are your guided tours open to the general public?
Yes, we've designed our tours to be as accessible as possible. That's why the majority of our tours are on flat itineraries, like our 2h tour of the Parc de la Tête d'Or or our 3h Grand Tour.
However, the 2h Panoramic tour is only available on electric bikes, and is therefore accessible to people aged 12 and over.
The only requirement is that you already know how to ride a bike without wheels. If you book a tour and you don't know how to ride a bike, you won't be reimbursed. To learn how to ride a bike, we recommend the services of the association La Maison du Vélo Lyon, which organizes sessions.
