rent a bike (trekking e-bike) in Guiyang

Does anyone know where you can hire a bike (trekking e-bike or something similar) for three weeks in Guiyang?

To avoid misunderstandings: I don't mean the ‘rent a bike’ bikes that can be found on every street corner.

Thanks a lot!

Finding a proper trekking e-bike for a longer rental in Guiyang can be a bit challenging, as most “rent-a-bike” services in the city cater to short-term rides or shared dockless bikes. However, there are a few options you can explore for a three-week rental.

Where to Rent Trekking E-Bikes

  • Specialty Bicycle Shops: Look for local bike shops that sell mid- to high-end bicycles. Shops that specialize in mountain bikes or electric bikes may offer long-term rentals or be willing to rent for several weeks. Examples include “Guiyang Cycling House” and “Guiyang Bicycle Store” – calling ahead is recommended.
  • Tourism and Outdoor Adventure Companies: Some companies catering to cycling tours in Guizhou may provide e-bike rentals for longer durations. They often have trekking or mountain e-bikes suitable for multi-day rides.
  • Online Platforms: Chinese platforms like DiDi Bike, Mobike (though mostly short-term), or even Taobao/Tmall can sometimes connect you with private owners or rental services that offer long-term e-bike rentals. Be sure to clarify the model, battery range, and rental duration before confirming.

Tips for Long-Term Rentals

  • Confirm the type of e-bike – trekking/mountain style with sufficient battery for daily rides.
  • Ask about maintenance support in case of technical issues during your rental period.
  • Clarify deposit, insurance, and any local regulations for electric bikes (helmet use, speed limits).
  • If you don’t speak Chinese, consider bringing someone who can negotiate or use translation apps when contacting shops.

It may take some effort to secure a proper e-bike for three weeks, but by focusing on specialty shops and outdoor adventure companies in Guiyang, you should be able to find a suitable solution for your trip.
