Where can I rent an e-bike in Cape Town or Stellenbosch?
First things first! My first point of contact for any bicycle rentals is always local man on the ground Bram Peereboom from bicyclerentals.co and 3YO training camps. We have already spoken at length about his expansive collection of high-end TREK carbon road bikes for rent; and he recently also added a bunch of BIANCHI gravel bikes to his fleet, in partnership with pro cyclist Willie Smit. But there are no e-bikes and the fleet and hence we created the list of options for e-bike rentals in CPT & Stellenbosch below.
E-bike rental options in and around the Cape Winelands
Why ride e-bikes? Lower travel emissions. Lower travel costs. To be outside. Experience nature. Get to the office without a sweat. Avoid traffic jams. Easier to find parking. Enjoy the scenery and fresh air. Allows people with disabilities to cycle. Caters for all fitness levels. And here is an interesting one – Scientific studies have also reported increases in maximum power output following e-biking. The latter needs more looking in to. Either way, here are some top options for e-bike rentals in Stellenbosch and CPT.
Adventureshop Stellenbosch
Veronika & Raino head up Adventureshop and they are always kind enough to provide us with a TREK MTB rental for the Warriors on Wheels Foundation outing we have to pull differently-abled youngsters in buggies on rides like the CTCT, 947, and Amashova. But Adventureshop stellenbosch also has one of if not the biggest fleet or e-bikes for rent in the Winelands. As they do many day trips to the surrounding wine farms on the GIANT and other makes of rental e-bikes. I know they have had issues with long-term rentals before, so are very careful when renting out e-bikes! The most e-bikes for rent in the Cape?
Cycling Friends in Green point CPT
Max at Cycling Friends in Sea Point, opposite the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, has sent boxed bicycled through #bicyclecouriers before and they also have a range of e-bikes for rent in Cape Town. It is a very cool shop with a great coffee experience and a whole range of STORCK bicycles on the wall. Do yourself a favour and pop in when you are around. or we can use them as an alternative to JOC John o Connor cycles in Mouille Point for sending your bicycle to/from CPT for the holidays.

Craig Boyes is the store manager at Specialized Stellenbosch at Specialized Bicycle Components right here in my home town and he has been involved with then for 10 years in Q3-2025.
