Rennes: 1000 new e-bikes for hire at € 150 per year

By the summer of this year, Rennes Star will purchase 1000 new generation e-bikes, which will be offered for rent at a price of 150 euros per year. At the end of the contract, customers will be able to purchase them at a lower price.

The Star, a public transport service in the Rennes area, will very soon expand its offer of e-bikes for long-term rentals with the purchase of 1 additional electric bicycles (VAE) by the summer of 000 year. the question of satisfying an important demand, all e-bikes of the Velostar service are rented out. At this point, we don't know which model (s) city services are targeting.

Possibility of purchase for 365 €

In addition to the self-service bikes already on offer in the region, this new park will be offered as a year-round rental for € 150, or less than € 15 for me. At the end of the contract, customers will have the opportunity to place a buy option of € 365 for the permanent purchase of the bike.

"As a result, the cost of a bicycle will be more than half as much as in a store.", explains daily Ouest-France Jean-Jacques Bernard, vice-president of Rennes Métropole in charge of transport (bike shops will appreciate this).

In terms of the metropolitan area, the switch to electricity should allow the little queen to be used more extensively in Rennes, in particular for home travel.
