Listing a bike

Step 1: Take stellar pictures

Photos are the first thing that a potential rider sees. Bikes with better photos reach more riders and receive more bookings - so take some time to make them shine! Draw the rider’s attention, highlight what’s amazing, and set the right expectation. In this guide we will give you some tips on improving your bike rental photography by using light, setting the scene, using perspectives and knowing what to show!

Step 2: Write a clear description

It is important to write a helpful description of your bike, so the rider knows exactly what to expect when they rent your bike. Try to be concise and to the point, whilst also ensuring that all essential information is included. Start with some attention-grabbing sentences describing the bike model and brand. Then mention some details of parts and specs of the bike. Check out this listing we created as an example for your description and photography.

Step 3: Set the Price 

Setting the rental price of your bikes is completely up to you. To determine an appropriate price, you could compare your bike to similar models or bikes nearby your location already on RentMyBike. Take into consideration the value of your bike and be realistic when setting prices - overpricing will prevent people from booking your bike and underpricing can look suspicious. Now you are ready to rent your bike out!

Step 4: Start Sharing

Now your listing is live, you can sit back and wait for the bookings to come rolling in. Your bike is now available on our platform and can be found in search of your location. People can start requesting your bike and it is up to you whether you accept them. Note that your address will not be shown until after a booking has been confirmed.
