Hertz has launched a new electric bicycle
offering in Spain following a successful launch in London earlier
this year.
Hertz customers can now explore the provinces of
Granada, Almería, Alicante, Valencia, Pontevedra, Álava, Barcelona
and the islands of Mallorca and Formentera, with a choice of nine
different Swiss Flyer electric bikes available from 24 euros a
day.
Michel Taride, President of Hertz International,
said, “We are very excited to introduce our electric bike offer to
Spain following the successful London launch, enabling customers
to explore tourist destinations not far from the sea and
countryside in an exhilarating way. We are always committed to
providing our customers with a range of mobility solutions. With
the electric powered bikes, customers can cover even more ground
than simply by touring on foot or using a traditional pedal bike.”
The sturdy Flyers are equipped with Lithium-ion batteries that
support travel at up to 25 kilometers an hour, with a range of 85 kilometers. The eco-friendly bikes come with full training, a
helmet and road safety vest to ensure customers feel at their
safest when exploring tourist destinations in this unique way.
Daily rates for the Flyer electric bikes are 24
euros when booked at least 24 hours in advance, or 28 euros for
booking on the day.
Electric bikes were
introduced in London in April through a partnership between Hertz
and Ultra Motors. The London electric bikes travel at a maximum
speed of 15.5 mph and can be rented at a day rate of £20. As with
the electric bikes in Spain, customers receive full training,
a lock and helmet, as well as a copy of the AA Leisure Guide to
London with suggested bike routes around the capital.
