In winter time, safety = Guided tour.
The snow, the ice, the early falling night, the slopes and trails with no signs… Riding a bike in the winter and on snow is different from riding it in the summer in classical trails. So let’s change the saying and we can assure you: Better to be well accompanied than alone! We highly recommend taking a guided tour.

Our bikes are checked, adjusted, repaired and washed after each rental to ensure high quality and security.

Safety requires the right equipment. Our prices include: the rental of helmet and gloves. We also rent knee and elbow pads for kids and adults.
Warranty
To cover you from a damage, we offer the Marmotte Futée Insurance for 3€. Please have a look at our Good mannered biker’s guide to avoid damage.
Why rent from Arav'e-Bike?
We do Bikes, only Bikes, that’s what we do. So before every rental, we take time to:
- Adjust the suspensions pressure (front and rear) to your weight (why have full-suspension bikes otherwise?) to ensure comfort and precise piloting.
- Check the tires pressure (we don't inflate to the highest point just to make sure you won't have a loose tire)
- Adjust the height of your seat (so you will take confidence quicker and avoid knee pain)

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Unlike motorbikes, an e-bike is still a bike. The engine accompanies the movement of the legs but does not replace it.
For kids from 8 years old or 1m35 height. For grown-ups, the only limit is the one you set to yourself ;)
It is highly recommended to book. In summertime and weekends, it is recommended to book one week in advance to make sure to have the right size of bike on your desired date. Apart from that time, it is necessary to book because we only open on demand.
Of course. Our office is closed during the week in the spring and fall, but we are always available by phone or email. Apart from week-ends, give us a call 48hours in advance preferably, and we will deliver the bikes to you.
The delivery is offered in the Aravis for a minimum of 4 bikes at 10€/bike.
Our electric mountain bikes are new and high quality, therefore we take a bank deposit of 1000€ per bike rental.
