Self-guided e-bike routes
Each route card below repeats the same five facts in the same order: distance, ride time, battery range, stop count and terrain. Read them side by side and you can pick a loop for the hours you actually have, not the hours a brochure promises.
Package, deposit and damage waiver are published as separate lines. Nothing is labelled free. The 10-minute handover briefing at the depot covers helmets, locks and the offline map before you leave.
Route ledger
Every line below lists distance, ride time, battery range and stop count in the same order, so you can compare a 40-minute loop against a half-day climb without guessing.
Start at the depot on Volodymyrska St, drop to the Embankment path, cross to Trukhaniv Island and return through Podil courtyards. Cobbles are short and easy to walk.
Add to bookingThe longest climb on our list, taken in assist level two. Two steep segments near the bell tower are walk-only with a parked bike beside you.
Add to bookingShort, shaded and mostly traffic-free, with a beach stop halfway. A sensible first ride if you have not used a pedelec before.
Add to bookingPavilion lanes at VDNG, then a straight run into the park. One long crossing at the exhibition centre needs a short walk with the bike.
Add to bookingKhreshchatyk and the side streets after 21:00, when traffic thins out. Front and rear lights are fitted as standard; a reflective band is included in the package.
Add to bookingBattery range by route
These figures come from our own rides on the standard 48 V 15 Ah pack. Every route below keeps a reserve large enough to climb back to the depot without pedalling a dead bike.
| Route | Distance | Ride time | Battery used | Return reserve | Range status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Podil and Riverfront Loop | 14 km | 1 h 10 min | 22% | 78% | Comfortable |
| Old Kyiv Hill Ring | 19 km | 1 h 45 min | 34% | 66% | Comfortable |
| Pechersk Terrace Run | 23 km | 2 h 05 min | 41% | 59% | Comfortable |
| Trukhaniv Island Crossing | 27 km | 2 h 30 min | 49% | 51% | Plan a stop |
| Holosiiv Forest Greenway | 33 km | 3 h 00 min | 61% | 39% | Plan a stop |
| Obolon Lakeside Spin | 38 km | 3 h 30 min | 72% | 28% | Second pack advised |
Rides over 32 km can take a second pack from the depot for the day. The spare pack is billed as its own line on the receipt, never folded into the route price. Distances and timings update each season; check the route ledger before you reserve.
Before you ride
Three points we repeat at every handover. Read them before you commit a route to your booking.
A helmet comes with every rental and must stay on for the whole ride, including bike lanes and park paths. Staff check the fit and strap before you leave the depot.
Riders under 18 need an adult present at handover to sign the rental agreement. One rider per vehicle, no passengers on the rear rack or deck.
Our e-bikes and scooters are treated as bicycles: ride in bike lanes where they exist, keep to the right on shared roads, and walk the vehicle through pedestrian zones and Kyiv's crowded old-town streets.
Check the battery range and terrain of your chosen route in the battery comparison table, then confirm your slot on the booking form. The full wording sits in our Safety and Helmet Policy and the Rental Terms and Conditions.
