Electric bikes are everywhere these days and for good reason. They’re fast, eco-friendly, and make commuting or running errands a breeze (no sweaty shirt required). Hills suddenly feel flat, distances shrink, and riding stays fun all year round.
But here’s the thing: a really good e-bike doesn’t come cheap. For many, the high price tag is what holds them back.
That’s where long-term e-bike rental comes in. Think of it as the cycling world’s version of car leasing: simple, predictable, and affordable. And thanks to Vapaus Jengi, it’s now available for anyone, no employer program required.
6 Reasons Renting an E-Bike Beats Buying
So why choose long-term e-bike rental? Here are six key advantages.
1. Keep Your Savings Intact
Why drop several thousand euros on a single purchase when you can ride the same premium bike for a flat monthly fee? With rental, you avoid the upfront hit to your wallet and keep your budget predictable.
For example, instead of paying 3,999 € upfront for a Pelago Lovisa, you could rent it through Vapaus Jengi:
- 12-month plan: 79 €/month = 948 € total
- 24-month plan: 79 €/month = 1,896 € total
Ride a top-quality e-bike for a couple of years at a fraction of the price, then simply return it when you’re done. Contracts have only a two-month cancellation period after the first year, so you’re never locked in for too long.
2. No Maintenance Headaches
Owning an e-bike means paying for regular servicing and parts replacement, which adds up quickly. For example, a yearly service with chain and cassette replacement can cost 300–400 €.
With Vapaus Jengi, all scheduled maintenance and worn-out parts are included. You just ride, experts take care of the rest.
3. Freedom to Switch or Upgrade
Tried one e-bike and want something different? With rental, you can upgrade or switch models anytime, even mid-contract. No hassle with selling, no loss in value.
4. Peace of Mind with Insurance and Security
Every bike comes with theft and damage insurance, plus a high-quality lock. If something happens, you won’t be left stranded – you’ll get a replacement quickly.
5. Try Before You Commit to a Lifestyle Change
Wondering if you could give up your second car? Or if cycling really fits into your daily routine? Renting gives you a low-risk way to test the waters before making a bigger investment.
If you love it (which you will), you can keep renting indefinitely or eventually buy your own.
6. A Greener Way to Get Around
Half of our benefit bike customers say they reduced their car use after getting an e-bike.
E-bikes are more than a fun gadget; they’re a real alternative to driving. Many riders end up replacing a good portion of their car trips with cycling, which saves money, lowers emissions, and boosts overall wellbeing.
With Vapaus Jengi, every returned bike is refurbished and put back into service, so nothing goes to waste. Sustainability runs through the entire lifecycle.
