Frequently Asked Questions

Where can we find you?

We are a mobile e-bike rental service so it’s easy to book online and then you meet us at our central pick up and return location at Gordon Dr. and Lequime Rd. to pick up your bike…look for our orange trailer!

We do provide customized drop off/pick up locations for a fee. Email us at hello@velovolt.ca to inquire.

What kind of e-bikes do you rent?

Our bikes are the Allant+ 7 by Trek. The Allant+7 is an award-winning performance e-bike built for riders and commuters who want a stylish, durable e-bike with the added road-smoothing benefits of a suspension fork. A powerful Bosch drive system, quality parts, and a wealth of thoughtful design details make this electric bike a one of a kind experience!

How much is it to rent a bike?

4-hour rental is $75 + tax
6-hour rental is $90 + tax
8-hour rental is $115 + tax

Our rental rates include everything you need! Each bike comes fully equipped with an e-bike grade helmet, lock, lights, phone holder, waterproof bike bags, first aid kit, hand sanitizer, and waterbottle holder.

Do you rent to kids?

We are only able to rent our bikes to ages 19+.

We have water bottle holders so please remember to bring a bottle!

Where do I pick up and drop off the bike?

We will meet you in the large parking area in the Mission Library + Capital News Centre area at 4105 Gordon Drive; you won’t be able to miss our big orange trailer! This area provides free parking and easy access to the greenway where your adventure awaits!

Do you offer other pick up and drop of locations?

Yes! Customize your very own tour from your home or hotel. There is a surcharge for travel based on distance, please email us with your desired pickup and drop off locations and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.

What is your bike theft policy?

Riders are financially responsible for rental bikes and equipment from the time it is released to your custody until the time it is dropped off at the specified rental location.

What if the bike is damaged?

Riders are financially responsible for coverage of any damages to the bikes beyond regular “wear and tear”.

What do I need to bring?

We like to think it is sunny and warm everyday in the Okanagan…however…be prepared! Bring close-toed shoes, plenty of water, a layer to protect from wind or rain and a small snack. Our bikes are equipped with “trunk bags” which will easily fit your essential items, and still have room for any small purchases you may make along your tour.

What if I’ve never been on an e-bike before?

Don’t worry! E-bike riding is fun and easy! We provide an overview of e-bike safety and proper usage upon pick-up.

What happens if I'm late dropping the bike back off?

Bikes must be ready for pick-up at the time specified prior to rental. Late returns will be charged at $20 / hour per bike.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes! You can purchase them by emailing us at booking@velovolt.ca

Do I need to make reservations in advance of visiting any local establishments?

Yes, with the new regulations around Covid we would recommend deciding in advance if you want to stop anywhere to check with them in advance and see what the protocols are.

Such an amazing experience! Sarah and Kendra are both so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The bikes are beyond fun! Now I want one myself. Awesome local business, you will not be disappointed. I will definitely rent from Velo Volt again.

Velo Volt e-bike rentals are SO MUCH FUN!!!!! It’s the perfect way to explore the Okanagan. We invited a group friends and spent the afternoon being tourists in our own town. We had some ambitious sporty friends that didn’t want the easy option, and others all too happy to ride all the way to the top of Knox without breaking a sweat. We covered so much ground, and had fun on the Foodie Fondo routing and suggested stops by Sarah and Kendra. We can’t wait to do this again in the Spring.

Wow!!! What a fabulous way to spend the day! Book this if you love friendly local business owners, adventure, thrill and enjoying the beauty of the Okanagan from an entirely different perspective. The bikes are amazing quality and a joy to drive with lots of extras like carry packs and secure locks. Cannot wait to do this again!! Thank you Velo Volt!!! (Insider tip: book ahead bc its so good they sell out!!)
