E-Bike and Special Needs Bicycle Hire in the Danube Valley
The range of bicycles and tricycles available to rent in Germany is growing year by year. We were interested to come across the e-bike-verleih-bogen at a recent bicycle touring fair in Frankfurt recently. Bogen is a small settlement near Straubing on the Danube, north east of Munich. The company offers not only good quality e-bikes, but also a range of vehicles for people who have difficulty with bicycles due to physical impairments. This range includes
Electrically assisted Hand Bike with wheelchair seating (ProActiv NJ1)
The VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike designed to transport people, who remain seated in their own wheelchair, by cycle.
E-Trike therapy cycle for adults
Tandem
E-transport bike for children or of course for large dogs.
The company offers both bicycle/tricycle hire and touring holidays based in a hotel in Straubing with wheelchair access. The websites are in German: e-bike-verleih-bogen.de (Hire) and e-bike-radtouren.de (Holiday) but offer photographs of the various bikes/trikes on offer. There is always Google Translator, of course. If you are interested in hiring a bike or two and don't speak or write German just send the company an email in English. In our experience German companies always have somebody on their staff who understands English.
