Easy Ebike Rental Orange County

Compuboost offers electric bike rentals for our Orange County community. Unlike other rental bikes, ours fold, so it is easy to carry on vacations, or home to the local trails.No hitches, truck, pickup or van needed. Folds up and fits in almost any car.

Folds up for Easy Transport

Daily Rental Orange County (2 day Minimum)

We have a daily rate, with a two day minimum rental. We also rent accessories like baskets, toolkits, blankets (for protecting car/bike) during transport, spare batteries, helmets.

We do not do hourly rates, because we found that it was too rushed for the customer. By the time the customer checks in, is fitted, given instructions, then finally he has to either ride to the trail or transport the ebike to the trail, it leaves him very little time to actually ride, before he has to return.

Ebikes are checked out after 2PM of the day before the start of the rental, and checked in before 10AM of the day after the end of the rental. A late fee equal to the daily rate is charged if returned after 10AM.

Electric eBike Rental Orange County Lineup

Road Ebike Rental Orange County

Our road ebikes are adult 26″ full size folding ebikes. They have extreme long range (about 60 miles) and powerful enough to go up any hill. Their weight capacity is 330lbs (ebike, rider and accessories). Our standard road ebikes with a flat handlebar for easy control, and a hand wrapped ventilated sport leather seat. All bikes go through a multipoint inspection and are ready to ride.

Many electric bike rentals include a front basket holder (basket optional) and rear rack.

Cruiser Electric bike Rental Orange County

Some road ebike rentals are equipped with pull back handlebars, and a wider, flatter seat for a more comfortable cruiser position. The more upright positions gives comfort on the straightaway, but the rider needs to be more careful on a fast turn, as he/she is not able to lean as much forward and must use less bank angle on turns, or else risk skidding and falling.

We recommend going slower in the cruiser electric bike rental configuration versus the standard sport configuration.

Mountain Ebike Rental Orange County

We rent full suspension mountain ebikes. These mountain electric bike rentals have powerful motors which make climbing hills fast and easy. They have spoke wheels, because on a trail, mountain bikes may encounter many more bumps and ruts, and too much stress or hitting a rut too hard may damage the wheel. On a mag wheel damage means cracking and thus ruining the wheel. However, with spoked wheels, only a spoke is bent or broken, and it is easily repaired without replacing the wheel.

However, even though designed for trails, our ebike rentals are still too heavy and turns too slowly to do technical mountain descents (like going nearly straight down with huge jumps). We recommend leaving technical descent to lightweight, long shock travel manual mountain bikes. Any damage caused by falls or excessive jumping will be considered abuse and be the responsibility of the renter.

SuperDuty Fat Tire Ebike Rental Orange County

We rent powerfull all terrain Superduty Fat tire ebikes. They have a 440lb weight limit (rider, bike and accessories), so they can handle the larger rider. Our Fat Tire bikes also have a long 52″ wheelbase, and although the wheels have a 26″ diameter , the actual tire and wheel diameter is close to 30″.

This makes this bike large and hard to handle for smaller or inexperienced riders. Sitting on the saddle of the ebike most riders are taller than drivers in many cars. We recommend this bike for larger riders or very experienced riders that can handle the size and subsequent slow response of the steering.

The fat tires allow operation in sand and snow. They are typically low pressure (25-30psi, but can be set even lower to 15 to 20 psi for better traction in sand or snow). However, riding on saltwater will damage the ebike rental, quickly corroding the magnesium alloy wheels and the aluminum alloy frame. The renter is responsible for seawater damage. The rider can take it to the beach, but should never ride down to the water.

All our bikes are waterproof, so after exposure to mud, seawater or salt mist, a simple rinse with a garden hose (not a pressure hose) is sufficient to clean the bike, and then a quick wipe with a towel. Ebikes completely muddied up will be assessed a cleaning fee.

Compact EBike Rental Orange County

Although designed for adults with a total weight capacity of 250 lbs (bike and rider), compact ebike rentals have a smaller motor and less power and weight so younger riders or senior citizens can more easily handle them. They also have a lower straddle height, so they are easier to mount.

Responsible children 14 and older should be able to ride it. Even as young as 12, as long as the child is responsible, and physically big enough to handle the bike.

The compact ebike is popular for motorhome vacations or yacht vacations, because it folds up very compact. We have both a street tire version, plus a fatter tire version with no fenders for a sportier look and the ability to go on unpaved roads.

Ebike Rental Orange County Procedure

Checking Out after 2PM previous day of rental

  • Walkaround with customer, with photo record, to verify original condition
  • Take the bike home

Return by 10Am following day

Responsibility of the Renter

Ebikes are expensive, complex pieces of equipment, and renting allows the customer to benefit from riding without putting up the expense of buying one. But it is his/her responsibility to maintain reasonable care during riding and transport, otherwise damage will be charged to their account. Electric bike rental is no different than renting other power vehicles, like a jet ski, boat, snowmobile or car. Care must be made to stay within the limits of its capabilities, and the ebike should not be abused with risk to the rider and the ebike.
