Plan a bike route with a rental bike: practical tips & routes

Plan your bike trip step by step

1. Choose a starting location that fits your plans

Start at a rental location that's close to scenic routes. Think of nature reserves, coastal towns or tourist hotspots. This way, you don't waste time and you're directly in the right environment for a great experience.

2. Determine your distance (and be realistic)

With an e-bike, you can easily 40 to 70 kilometers cycling in a day. Please note:

• Your own condition
• Number of stops
• How much time you really want to cycle

A relaxed pace makes for more fun.

3. Check the e-bike's range

Ask in advance how many kilometers you can drive on a full battery. Always keep some margin, especially if you have a headwind or use a lot of support.

👉 Tip: plan your route in a loop so that you always come back to the starting point.

4. Map out a route (or use existing ones)

Many hosts offer ready-to-use cycling routes that take you to local highlights. You can also use the thematic cycling routes from, for example, the bicycle route app www.fietsnetwerk.nl use.

5. Plan breaks and sights

A day trip isn't just about cycling. Plan stops consciously:

• Terraces or lunch spots
• Viewpoints
• Beach, forest or village

This way, your route becomes a complete day experience.
