NOVA SCOTIA BIKE/KAYAK RENTALS

If you need to rent bicycles, e-bikes, or sea-kayaks in Halifax or elsewhere in Nova Scotia, you are in the right place.

You can rent excellent, impeccably maintained TREK bikes, including hybrid fitness bikes suitable for road and light trails, fast, light road and gravel bikes, and great electric-assist e-bikes. You also have access to tough, light canoes and sea kayaks. The bikes are new or nearly new, and you can choose between hybrid, electric, or road bikes. Additionally, there are sweet tandem bikes available for you, along with bike racks, a child trailer, and a tag-along bike.

Rentals can be picked up at Freewheeling Adventures by appointment, or equipment delivery/collection services are available for $1.45/km from our location. Free delivery is available within 15km of our location. To reserve, simply add your items to the cart, and proceed to checkout. Please note that every person riding a rental bike will need to sign a rental agreement and liability waiver upon equipment handover, and if you are under 19 years old, a signature from a legal parent or guardian is required. By reserving rental equipment with us, you are subject to our terms & conditions.

RENTAL BIKES

Hybrid-Fitness

The cycling position is comfortable and semi-upright. These and similar electric bikes are the rental bicycles we recommend and supply for most riders. We use Trek FX2 or equivalent, and all sizes, including children’s, are available. They come equipped with water bottle, odometer, rear rack, trunk bag, high visibility vest, lock, pump, patch kit, and spare inner tube.

Electric-Assist

Electric pedal-assist with a possible range of about 130km between battery swaps. Most are Trek bikes with BionX 500, Bosch, or Shimano STEP motors. Batteries can be recharged quickly, and spare batteries are available by request. Please reserve these bikes early; they are in high demand and our stock is limited.

Road

Performance Road/Gravel bicycles with drop handlebars. Most of our fleet is comprised of Trek Domane AL5, or similar, with full Shimano 105 components and hydraulic disc brakes. These come equipped with a rear rack and small trunk bag. We also have a small number of carbon frame Madone or Domane bikes with rim brakes that can be requested in “notes” during booking.

Trailer Bikes: Attach one to the back of any adult’s bike to turn it into a tandem suitable for children up to 4’ tall. They can assist you by pedalling, or can simply freewheel as you do all the work. They have no directional or braking control.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY BIKE RENTAL

 


RENTAL KAYAKS

Single Kayak

Our 17ft long, 23″ wide single kayaks easily accommodate most adult paddlers and can carry expedition gear. The bow and stern hatches have large openings, and the bulkheads provide ample flotation. Rudders make directional control easy. High initial stability, excellent glide and outstanding acceleration contribute to their safety margin.

Weekly: C 260
Two weeks: C 390

Tandem Kayak

This tandem sea kayak is unlike anything else available. Stable yet roomy, it features three bulkheads and two large hatches, a foot-controlled rudder, comfortable seats and generous deck lines. Designed for longer trips, it is a less tippy choice for two, and at least as fast as a single kayak when paddled well.
