Hi everyone! I’ve recently moved to Aarhus and I’m trying to figure out the best way to get an e-bike without spending a lot upfront. I live around 6–7 km from Aarhus city centre, and public transport takes me almost 1 hour each way. By e-bike, Google Maps estimates around 22 minutes, so I’m seriously considering cycling to work.

Ideally, I’d like to rent an e-bike for a month first to see whether I can realistically manage the commute before committing to buying one.

Does anyone know of:

1. Affordable monthly e-bike rentals in Aarhus? Shops that rent e-bikes for longer periods?
2. Good second-hand options or places to buy a reliable used e-bike?
3. Any subscription/leasing schemes that are reasonably priced?

I’m not looking for anything fancy — just a reliable e-bike for a daily 6–7 km commute. My main priority is keeping the long-term cost low. Would really appreciate recommendations from people who have actually used these options in Aarhus.

Thanks! 😊
