Three self-guided routes leave from our Kyiv depot. Distance, ride time, battery range, stop count and terrain sit in the same order on every card, so comparing takes a glance instead of a guess.

In every rental

Included gear, listed plainly

Four items travel with every route package. They are not billed as extras, and the handover covers how each one fits your ride.

Priced separately: spare battery, child seat and out-of-zone recovery. Compare reach per route in the battery range table, then confirm your slot on the booking form.

Range ledger

Battery use by route, measured in eco assist

Each figure is the share of a 540 Wh pack used on the outward ride from the Volodymyrska depot, at a steady 18 km/h with one rider and a loaded handlebar bag.

Safety and local law

Before you ride

  • Helmet on, every ride

    Every rental includes a fitted helmet, sized at the depot during the handover briefing. We do not release a bike or scooter without one, whatever your age or experience.

  • Age limits

    The rental agreement must be signed by someone aged 18 or over. Riders aged 14 to 17 may join a route only with the guardian who signed for them present on the ride. We do not rent to riders under 14.

  • Ukrainian traffic law

    E-bikes and electric scooters follow bicycle rules on Ukrainian roads. Use the bike lane or keep to the right edge of the carriageway, stay off sidewalks, and keep to 25 km/h in the city. Riding after drinking ends the rental immediately.

Full wording lives in our safety and helmet policy and rental terms. Damage waiver is priced separately and shown at booking.
